Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos will travel to Ireland on Tuesday for the Gymnich meeting of EU foreign ministers.
Dublin, Ireland. Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos will travel to Ireland on Tuesday to attend the informal meeting of EU foreign ministers, known as the Gymnich.
The discussions will address Russia’s continuing aggression against Ukraine, the EU’s external action and the situation in the Middle East.
Meeting agenda
According to a Foreign Ministry statement, ministers will discuss ways to strengthen the effectiveness, impact and flexibility of the European Union’s external action amid an evolving geopolitical environment.
The meeting will also focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine and developments in the Middle East.
Gymnich format
The Ireland meeting follows the previous Gymnich, which Cyprus hosted in Limassol in May as part of its Presidency of the Council of the EU.
Gymnich meetings are held twice each year by the member state holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU. Their informal format allows foreign ministers to hold strategic discussions on current international issues and the broader direction of the bloc’s foreign and security policy.
