The summit, hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and U.S. President Donald Trump, involves leaders from 20 countries and focuses on ending the Gaza conflict, promoting regional stability, and fostering peace.

António Costa, President of the European Council, will represent the EU at a major peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, aimed at formalizing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

The EU is committed to supporting and contributing to the implementation of peace efforts in the region.

Costa was invited to the peace plan ceremony by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and U.S. President Donald Trump, emphasizing the importance of the EU's role in regional stability.

Initially, Costa planned to visit Dublin to meet Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, but this visit has been postponed to a later date.
