Lithuanian PM to attend European Political Community Summit in Tirana

VILNIUS - Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas will take part in the European Political Community Summit in the Albanian capital Tirana on Friday.

The meeting will bring together more than 40 heads of European states and EU institutions, the Lithuanian government said.

The visit will also include bilateral talks with European leaders.

The European Political Community is a forum for European countries to coordinate policy. It was established after Russia's 2022 military invasion of Ukraine.

The format includes two summits each year - one in spring and another in fall - aimed at strengthening ties between EU member states and like-minded non-EU countries, fostering political dialogue and cooperation on issues of common interest and promoting security, stability and well-being across the continent.
