The Prime Minister will meet António Costa, President of the
European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the
European Commission, in Brussels on 20 November 2026 for the
second UK-EU summit.
The Prime Minister will use the summit to push for deals to
cut costs and red tape for British farmers and businesses,
support industry and boost growth in every part of the country.
At the first summit, held in London on 19 May 2025, the UK and
the EU agreed a new strategic partnership.
In Brussels, leaders will review progress since then and agree on
practical next steps to deepen cooperation on security, illegal
migration and crime, while cutting red tape and lowering costs
for farmers and food businesses.
Prime Minister Andy said:
A threadbare Brexit deal has damaged our economy. Britain can do
so much better, so at this summit I want to take practical steps
that pay off for the British public, cutting costs for our
farmers, food producers and families.
The EU is our closest neighbour, largest market and a vital
security partner. The deals we are working towards will make us
safer, cut back on paperwork that bogs down business and ease
pressure on supermarket prices. I want every family and business
to feel the benefits of a closer relationship with Europe, and
that's what I will be focused on in Brussels.
