Can the European Political Community Be a Bridge Between the UK and the EU?

Summary:

The European Political Community (EPC) is Europe’s newest political forum. The EPC is the brainchild of French President Emmanuel Macron. Its inaugural summit was held in Prague in October 2022. Leaders from 43 EU and non-EU European countries met in a show of continental unity to discuss the challenges stemming from Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The Prague summit showcased the EPC’s potential as a platform for dialogue between a large and diverse group of European leaders, and as a means of fostering closer UK-EU ties. The EPC could help rebuild trust after the acrimony of the Brexit years, promote closer dialogue and help the EU and the UK discuss and address shared challenges.
