Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has attended opening event of the plenary session of the third meeting of the European Political Community in Granada, Spain.

According to the PM's office, "the plenary session was opened by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez."

47 heads of state and government are invited to take part in this third meeting of the European Political Community.

More context: The European Political Community aims to

• foster political dialogue and cooperation to address issues of common interest
• strengthen the security, stability and prosperity of the European continent

This platform for political coordination does not replace any existing organisation, structure or process, and does not aim to create new ones at this stage.

So far, the European Political Community has met twice. At the first meeting in October 2022, leaders mainly discussed peace and security issues, especially Russia's war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis. At the following meeting in June 2023, they discussed joint efforts for peace and security, energy resilience and connectivity and mobility in Europe.

The next European Political Community meeting will take place in the United Kingdom.
