Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is among those attending, alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, as diplomatic efforts continue to explore a possible resolution to the conflict.
Established in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the European Political Community provides a forum for dialogue between European Union members and neighbouring countries, including Monaco and the United Kingdom.
Beyond Ukraine, discussions are addressing emerging security threats, geopolitical instability and the importance of strengthening cooperation across national borders.
Prince Albert’s participation reflects Monaco’s continued engagement in European affairs, following shortly after the Principality concluded its historic six-month presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers.
