EU foreign, defence and security policies for 2025
MEPs will discuss with High Representative Kaja Kallas, and then vote on, the EU's common foreign, defence, and security policy objectives for 2025.
On Tuesday afternoon, MEPs and the EU’s chief diplomat will debate two draft reports urging the EU to invest more in its defence sector, including an increase in military and political support for Ukraine. MEPs are also set to call for the EU to expand its presence in the Middle East, foster closer ties with like-minded partners, and support enlargement countries in their efforts to advance towards EU membership. The draft texts on EU common foreign and security policy and on EU common security and defence policy will be voted on by MEPs on Wednesday.
