Eastern Partners
The Council discussed political developments in the Eastern partner countries and how best to take forward the Eastern Partnership, in line with the outcome of the Riga Summit in May 2015.

Ministers emphasised the need for having a tailor-made, differentiated approach for each of the six countries to cater for their very different situations.

It discussed geographical and thematic priorities, such as work against foreign terrorist fighters, improving border security and aviation security, curtailing terrorist financing and countering radicalisation and violent extremism.
