The visit is also announced on the agenda of the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, where the purpose of the meeting is specified: consultations on the strategic agenda of the EU for the next five years.
Every five years, EU leaders agree on the EU’s political priorities for the future, setting the EU’s strategic agenda. It is a collective effort led by the president of the European Council, where leaders discuss and make decisions together, according to the European Council’s website. It takes place in the context of the European Parliament elections and before the appointment of each European Commission.
In addition to this, the recent announcement by President Klaus Iohannis, who declared his intention to run for the position of Secretary General of NATO, a position to which Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte also aspires, must be recalled.
