The first thematic discussion of the Summit is dedicated to preparations for the October European Council, with the participation of the President of the European Council, Mr. António Costa, and the President of the European Commission, Ms. Ursula von der Leyen.
Among the items on the agenda is Europe’s energy security, an issue of immediate priority for Mediterranean countries, which are called upon to play a key role in ensuring the Union’s energy sufficiency. In this context, Cyprus consistently contributes to the formulation of common European responses, drawing on its position as a Member State at the southeastern edge of the Union and the experience gained during the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU.
