European Political Community Summit - Budapest

European Political Community Summit - Budapest

The fifth European Political Community (EPC) summit is held in Budapest, Hungary on November 7, 2024. European leaders have agreed on the need for Europe to assume greater responsibility for its own security rather than relying solely on the United States, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Thursday following the fifth European Political Community (EPC) summit. Leaders from nearly 50 European nations and international organizations gathered here for the one-day summit, addressing urgent issues such as irregular migration, security, and connectivity across the continent. At a joint press conference with his Albanian counterpart Edi Rama, the Hungarian prime minister highlighted the multiple threats to European peace, stability, and prosperity, which include the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine, the escalating tensions in the Middle East, persistent illegal migration, and an unprecedented level of global economic fragmentation since the Cold War.
