9th European Political Community Summit in Dublin.

The President of the Republic travelled to Dublin on Thursday 12 November 2026 to attend the 9th summit of the European Political Community.

Bringing together the heads of state and government of Greater Europe, this summit provided an opportunity to discuss issues relating to regional stability, security and practical cooperation across the continent.

As part of this European Political Community framework, which he launched in 2022, the President of the Republic put forward an initiative aimed at collectively setting out key principles for European security, as well as establishing common objectives covering strategic and industrial challenges, hybrid threats, the fight against disinformation and food security.

On the sidelines of the summit, the President also took part in a round-table discussion on security and the defence of democracy in Europe, as well as in meetings in support of Ukraine, Armenia and Moldova. He also co-chaired, alongside the President of the Italian Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, the third meeting of the European Coalition against Drugs, a Franco-Italian initiative.
