Organized in the framework of the Hungarian Presidency, the event served as an opportunity for participants to discuss shared challenges and tasks such as military assistance to Ukraine, cooperation with the Western Balkan countries and upcoming work on improving European defence and security.

Also discussed during this meeting was the need to enhance European military cooperation, in particular in the areas of maritime security, cyber defence and effective delivery of military assistance missions.

The EU Military Committee works to make the best use of EU Member States' joint efforts within the Strategic Compass framework, with the overall goal of strengthening the EU's security and defence policy.
