On May 17th, the 6th European Political Community Leaders’ Meeting was held in Tirana, the capital of Albania. About 50 national and regional leaders, as well as leaders of EU institutions, attended the meeting, focusing on European security and economic challenges. The theme of this conference is “New Europe in the New World: Unity, Cooperation, Joint Action”, which is the first time that the European Political Community has held a conference in the Western Balkans region. During the meeting, the leaders discussed issues such as European security and defense, competitiveness and economic security, and migration, focusing on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as innovation, digital infrastructure, energy sustainability, and supply chain security. The meeting was co chaired by European Council President Costa and Albanian Prime Minister Rama. Costa stated that Europe should continue to deepen and expand global trade cooperation, not succumb to protectionism, but instead strive for mutually beneficial partnerships and abandon zero sum thinking. Rama called on the European political community to pay more attention to education, science, and artificial intelligence, so that non EU regions can also become investment frontiers.
