Monday 17 March:

  • European Union: A Foreign Affairs Council meeting takes place in Brussels. EU foreign affairs ministers are joined virtually by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha for discussions on the EU’s support for Ukraine amid a push from the US for immediate ceasefire talks. While the issue of military aid to Ukraine will be discussed, no decisions or votes will be taken, with Hungary remaining an obstacle to unanimous consent. Ministers will also discuss various subjects in the Middle East including Gaza, Syria, and Iran. They will also discuss the broader state of US-EU relations amid the escalating trade war between Washington, D.C., and Brussels.
  • Canada: New Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Paris for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, before he heads to London for talks with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in the evening. The overseas visits are some of Carney’s first actions in office after being sworn in as prime minister to succeed Justin Trudeau on 14 March. Discussions with both leaders are set to focus on trade and security links between Canada and France, and the UK respectively. Carney will also be given an audience with King Charles III, Canada’s head of state.
