The next EU-UK summit was set to take place in July but has had to be postponed due to political manoeuverings in London. So when will it take place and what's on the agenda?
After months of negotiations, the EU and the UK were planning to hold summit on July 22nd, but the resignation of Keir Starmer as UK Prime Minister put the plan on hold.
The summit was part of the ‘reset’ of UK-EU relationships pursued by the current Labour government to move closer to the European Union after the tumultuous years that followed the withdrawal from the bloc.
A first summit took place last year in London, with the announcement of a defence and security pact, continued support for Ukraine, and the UK's rejoining of the EU’s Erasmus+ programme, the flagship scheme for education, youth and sport exchanges.
The second summit was initially expected in May this year, but negotiations were still ongoing on a youth mobility scheme, which would allow young people to move between the UK and EU countries to work and study for a limited period of time with facilitate visas.
