Description

The Security Council hears a briefing on “Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations” focusing on the European Union. 

Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for Middle East, Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific in the Departments of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Peace Operations, and Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, are expected to brief. 

Briefings on UN-EU cooperation have generally addressed areas of common concern, focusing on the EU’s main foreign policy objectives and addressing current crises on the Council’s agenda. 

Conceived as a project of peace in the wake of the Second World War, the European Union today remains one of the United Nations’ staunchest and most important regional partners, senior officials from both organizations told the Security Council today, even some delegates sparred over the bloc’s influence in an increasingly multipolar and unstable world. 

There are currently four EU Member States serving on the Council - Denmark, France, Greece and Latvia.
