Dozens of European leaders are set to gather in the Irish capital, Dublin, over two days to discuss a range of issues, most notably the war in Ukraine, European security, and the economic challenges facing the continent, including artificial intelligence.
Around 50 European leaders are expected to attend the European Political Community summit today, Thursday, to discuss ways to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness and safeguard its security.
The summit will give Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky an opportunity to brief his closest allies on the latest developments in talks with Russia, while calling for further military and financial support for his country.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte are also expected to attend Thursday’s summit.
The European Political Community, launched by French President Emmanuel Macron several years ago, brings together European Union member states, as well as the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, and several countries from the Western Balkans and the Caucasus.
The following day, Friday, leaders of the European Union’s 27 member states will hold a meeting to discuss artificial intelligence, alongside the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, including Kyiv’s growing financial needs.
Discussions on artificial intelligence are expected to focus on how Europe can strengthen its position to become a major player in this field, which is largely dominated by the United States, as well as examine the societal and environmental implications of this technology.
Regarding Ukraine, discussions are expected to address ways to provide additional financial assistance to Kyiv, after Zelensky told EU leaders last October that his country needed approximately €70 billion ($77.9 billion) in additional funding for 2027.
Leaders are also expected to revisit the question of who would be best suited to represent the European Union in any future peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
