On June 9, 2026, a regular press briefing was held in the capital of Belgium, Brussels, at the famous Berlaymont building, which houses the headquarters of the European Commission. The event was organized to disclose new information and answer crucial questions regarding several key areas of interest to the regional and global public.
The press meeting was led by European Commission spokespersons Balazs Ujvari, Anna-Kaisa Itkonen, and Anita Hipper. During the briefing, official statements were issued on several key international and interregional directions, and updated analytical data was shared with members of the press. Additionally, an extensive Q&A session was held with journalists from around the world on matters concerning the international agenda.
During the event, issues of strategic importance currently under the special focus of the European Union were reviewed. In particular, a detailed analysis was conducted on regional and global security, migration policy, current international economic conditions, the prospects for developing and improving the digital market, as well as the European Union’s foreign policy and its cooperation with other states and international organizations.
Alongside journalists and correspondents from various corners of the world, “The Ashgabat Times” news portal — which actively covers Turkmenistan’s news in the international arena — also attended this international event with the assistance of the European Union Delegation to Ashgabat.
