A notice of meeting published by the Council of the European Union schedules the Horizontal Working Party on Cyber Issues (attachés) for 25 June 2026 at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels, in a 1+2 format. The agenda covers cyber diplomacy, strategic notes, UN norms implementation, and the EU-US Digital Dialogue, with restricted sessions for certain items.
The meeting will open with adoption of the agenda. Under item 2, the working party will discuss the cyber diplomacy toolbox in a restricted session (RESTREINT EU/EU RESTRICTED), with members of the Working Party on Eastern Europe and Central Asia invited to attend. Item 3 continues the cyber diplomacy toolbox theme, focusing on third-country coordination, with a presentation by the European External Action Service (EEAS) and members of the Asia/Oceania working party invited.
Item 4 features a presentation by the EEAS and discussion on a strategic note (also RESTREINT EU/EU RESTRICTED). Item 5 covers the UN Global Mechanism on norms implementation, again with an EEAS presentation and discussion. Item 6 provides information from the European Commission on cyber elements of the EU-US Digital Dialogue. The meeting concludes with any other business.
Delegations are required to register presence via the delegates portal; Council documents are available there, with room attendants providing copies on request. The meeting is part of ongoing EU efforts to coordinate cyber policy across member states and with international partners, though no prior coverage of this specific working party exists in recent months.
