Ongoing political engagement with our EU and international partners, remains crucial, in relation to Brexit and other important EU issues.
I plan to attend the Informal EU Summit in Salzburg on 20 September, as well as the next formal meeting of the European Council in Brussels on 17 and 18 October.
My programme of bilateral engagements also continues and, from 23 to 26 July, I am visiting a series of EU capitals. On 23 July, I met with the Croatian President, the Prime Minister, and the Speaker of the Parliament in Zagreb. I also met with the Romanian President, Prime Minister and President of the Chamber of Deputies in Bucharest on 24 July. And I will meet with the new Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, in Rome on Thursday, 26 July.
Other bilateral meetings are envisaged for the period ahead, and these will be confirmed when the details have been finalised.
