A delegation of AFET Members traveled to Saudi Arabia from 19 to 20 December 2022. The main purpose of the mission of the visit was to assess the EU-Saudi Arabia and EU-GCC relations in the context of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the dramatic geopolitical changes that have ensued.
In addition, the visit allowed discussing conflicts in the region, particularly the situation in Yemen. Following the publication of the European Commission/European External Action Service Joint Communication on a 'Strategic Partnership with the Gulf', the visit allowed to take stock of the EU's initiatives.
