Today and tomorrow, Chairman of the National Defence Committee of the Riigikogu (parliament of Estonia) Kalev Stoicescu and Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu Marko Mihkelson attend the Inter-Parliamentary Conference for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy, which focuses on strengthening European security.

The inter-parliamentary conference is held in Warsaw, Poland, and its aim is to discuss strengthening the defence and security in Europe in the context of Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine and the external hybrid threats destabilising Europe. The priorities of the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy of the EU, developing a new security framework for the EU, and the future of transatlantic relations will be the key topics analysed at the conference.

The Conference is one of the most important events of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which lasts from 1 January until the end of June. The main focus of the Polish Presidency is European security and how to strengthen it.
