On 30 and 31 August, Prague will host a Gymnich meeting of EU foreign ministers, so named after the place where the first such meeting took place in 1974. European ministers will be discussing two main topics: the Russian aggression against Ukraine and the EU’s relations with Africa.
During these meetings, always organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country holding the Presidency together with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, both long-term prospects and current major international security issues are discussed.
