EU foreign ministers are scheduled to meet on 15 June 2026 in Luxembourg for a Foreign Affairs Council chaired by EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, according to a media advisory published by the European External Action Service on 12 June 2026. The agenda includes discussions on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East, and EU-China relations, alongside current affairs and any other business items.
The meeting will begin at 09.45 with the adoption of the agenda and approval of non-legislative "A" items. The main session will cover current affairs, with the three headline topics: Russia's war against Ukraine, the Middle East, and EU-China relations. Under "Any other business," ministers will examine a white paper on Russian acts of sabotage and subversion against members of the Council of the Baltic Sea States, the priorities of the incoming Romanian chairmanship-in-office of the South-East European Cooperation Process, and a Black Sea maritime security hub. A press conference is scheduled for around 15.00.
No prior coverage of this specific meeting exists in recent records. The advisory provides logistical details: arrivals and a doorstep by Kallas will be live-streamed from 07.45. Journalists can attend in person at the European Convention Center Luxembourg or remotely via registration by 14.00 on the day of the meeting. Press contacts are Maria Daniela Lenzu and Carlo Zarcone.
The meeting comes amid ongoing EU efforts to maintain unity on support for Ukraine, address escalating tensions in the Middle East, and manage complex trade and security relations with China. The inclusion of a white paper on Russian sabotage activities highlights growing concerns over hybrid threats, particularly in the Baltic Sea region. The Black Sea maritime security hub item reflects strategic interests in securing sea lanes and countering Russian influence in the region.
