The foreign ministers of the EU and the Gulf countries will hold an informal video conference on 5 March. Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen will represent Finland at the meeting.

EU foreign ministers will discuss the escalating situation in the Middle East with their counterparts from the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in an informal video conference.
