The 8th European Political Community (EPC) Summit was held in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, on Monday with the theme "Building the Future: Unity and Stability in Europe".

Leaders from nearly 50 countries participated, including all 27 EU member states, to discuss pressing issues such as economic and energy security, the European Union (EU)-U.S. relations, and the necessity for Europe to pursue "defense autonomy" to reduce its reliance on the United States.

European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were also present at the summit.

At the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the unpredictability of the United States as an ally, urging Europe to enhance solidarity and cooperation.

Noting that Europe is increasing its defense and security spending while developing its own solutions. Macron said that France and Britain are forming an international naval coalition to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Europe to take a more proactive role within the NATO, arguing that the continent has been "behind the curve for too long" in matters of defense.

The European Political Community is an intergovernmental forum that facilitates political and strategic dialogue about the future of Europe.
