A spokesperson for the European Commission confirmed that the institution holds the authority to accept invitations such as the one extended by the United States to participate in the Peace Council event in Washington.
In his remarks, the spokesperson said responding to such diplomatic invitations falls within the Commission’s mandate.
The clarification comes as international delegations gather in the U.S. capital for the first session of the Peace Council, an initiative led by President Donald Trump and hosted at the Trump Institute for Peace.
The European Union’s level of representation at the meeting has drawn attention amid broader discussions about transatlantic coordination on peace and security issues.
Further details regarding the scope of the Commission’s participation have not yet been disclosed.
