This year’s Summit to be held in the village of Bulboaca located 35 km away from Chişinău, the capital of Moldova brings together heads of state and government from some 50 countries.

The discussions of the 2nd European Political Community (EPC) Summit will focus on three main topics: joint efforts for peace and security; energy resilience and climate action; and interconnections in Europe for a better connected and more stable continent.

The EPC Summit is an exceptional platform that provides small and large countries, both within and outside the EU, with an equal voice during discussions. The EPC summit is the largest international event ever hosted by Moldova.

The initial EPC gathering took place in Prague in October 2022.
