The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a joint initiative involving the EU, its Member States and six Eastern European Partners: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.
I am privileged and honoured to take up the role of the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission.
On 1 December, Josep Borrell assumed the post of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission.
The first Eastern Partnership Ministerial Meeting on Education was held on Friday 22 November 2019, discussing the Future of Learning and Teaching.
The meeting brought together Ministers/Deputy Ministers and other senior officials from the EaP countries, the current EU Council Presidency trio, and representatives of the EU institutions. EEAS was represented by Luc Devigne, Director for Russia, Eastern Partnership, Central Asia and OSCE.
