Story summary

Leaders from more than 40 countries gathered in Dublin on Thursday, November 12, 2026, for the 9th European Political Community (EPC) summit to discuss the continent's fragile security and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The summit featured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who warned leaders about Russia's desire to reshape the European security framework while discussing the state of peace negotiations. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney attended as the only non-European country at the summit, where he discussed security and trade and explored potentially making Canada an "associate member" of the European Union. During the summit, a draft declaration was expected to be signed by roughly 40 countries stating that matters affecting European security should be decided by Europeans. President Zelenskyy also noted that the EU is potentially involved in a process regarding negotiations to end the conflict. Additionally, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev announced plans to increase and diversify energy supplies to the EU and discussed a strategic partnership with the UK. Prime Minister Carney also held bilateral talks with Greece and Cyprus regarding a decade-old trade deal and spoke about growing European partnerships for Canada's auto sector.
