Representatives of all EU Member States to take part in EU-USA Summit in Prague
After consulting the European Commission and the U.S. administration of President Barack Obama, Mirek Topolánek will invite the heads of states and governments of all 27 EU Member States to the EU-USA Summit.
The Summit will take place on 5 April in Prague, i.e. immediately after the G-20 Summit on 2 April in London, which will address issues of global financial architecture and consequences of the financial crisis, and after the NATO Summit held in Strasbourg (France) and Baden-Baden and Kehl (Germany) on 3 - 4 April, which will engage in a debate on safety and military cooperation.
‘The Prague Summit may thus address other foreign-policy topics, such as the issues of energy and climate,’ stated Mirek Topolánek in relation to the preparation of the Copenhagen Summit in the autumn.
American President Barack Obama should also meet with the Czech Prime Minister for bilateral discussion already on the evening of 4 April.
