On 18 January 2024, Margaritis Schinas, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of promoting our European Way of Life, and acting European Commissioner for International Partnerships, hosted a high-level meeting with religious leaders to reflect on how the European Union has responded to the various challenges it has faced since 2020, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza.

High-level meetings with religious leaders take place within the framework of the Article 17 dialogue with churches, religious associations, philosophical and non-confessional organisations. They provide an opportunity for religious leaders representing the main European religions to deliberate directly with European institutions on European and global developments.
