Svizzera ospiterà vertice CPE nel 2027, Antonio Costa
Original
Switerzland’s readiness to organise one of the EPC meetings had already emerged in the government’s most recent foreign policy report. Costa confirmed what Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter, had hinted at the end of last week’s summit in Tirana, Albania.
The next EPC summits will take place in Copenhagen in October 2025 and, according to Costa, in 2026 it will be the turn of Armenia and Ireland. Then in 2027 it will be Switzerland’s turn in the spring, followed by Greece in the second half.
Forty-seven heads of state and government were invited to the Tirana summit, along with the heads of the main European institutions, such as the European Union (EU), the Council of Europe and NATO.

The Swiss are deeply divided over relations with the EU

Despite little enthusiasm for the European Union, the Swiss consider the bilateral agreements with Brussels to be important.
Established in 2022 on the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Political Community aims to be a platform for political and strategic discussion on the future of Europe. Since then, six meetings have been held. Typically, summits are held in the first half of the year in a non-EU country, and in the second half in the member state holding the EU presidency.
