Presentation of Indo-Pacific EU strategy postponed

The EU Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) will publish their joint expanded EU strategy for the Indo-Pacific on Thursday. The presentation was initially scheduled for Tuesday. The reason for the postponement was „logistics“ due to the State of the European Union (SOTEU) speech by EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen today (Wednesday), EEAS sources said. High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell will now present the paper at a press conference on Thursday.
