The EU’s priority directions are determined by the EU Strategic Agenda for 2024–2029, adopted by the Member States. It is based on three pillars:
- a free and democratic Europe
- a strong and secure Europe
- a prosperous and competitive Europe
The priorities for 2024–2029 set by the European Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen include defence and security, sustainable prosperity, democracy, and social justice.
Latvia supports EU initiatives to strengthen security, competitiveness, and the protection of citizens’ interests. Latvia’s key priorities in within the EU are outlined each year in the Foreign Minister’s Annual Report.
