Pradales will meet with the Belgian Prime Minister on his third official trip to Brussels
The Lehendakari will travel to Brussels from 3 to 4 March to strengthen the role of the Basque Country in Europe and participate in a summit on cohesion policy from 2028.
The Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, will travel to Brussels from 3 to 4 March to "strengthen the political role of the Basque Country in the heart of the European Union." This will be his third trip to the European Union in this legislature, following those held in November 2024 and January 2025. All of them aim to "be at those tables when decisions are taken that affect the Basque Country" and to gain influence in defence of the "interests and rights of Basque society."
The main item on the agenda will be the high-level bilateral meeting with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever, who will take Pradales at his official residence on 4 March. The aim of the meeting is to 'strengthen the alliance between the two countries' and strengthen cooperation, including the defence of the co-official languages of Europe and 'proclaim the role of stateless regions and nations with legislative powers'.
The Basque Government considers this to be a 'crucial moment in the redefinition ofpolicies', and in this regard the Lehendakari will participate in the Power Regions of Europe - Round Table Summit 2026 , a summit at which the regions with the greatest economic and technological capacity will establish their position on the post-2028 Cohesion Policy.
Pradales will previously participate in an interview organized by the European Policy Centre (EPC) in which he will explain how the Basque industry must adapt to the new era of security and geopolitics "without losing competitiveness". The Basque Government intends that "the voice and capabilities of the Basque industry will have a direct impact on the decisions of the Council of Europe and the European Commission ".
Within this agenda, which has not yet been closed, the Basque diasporawill also meet .
