Gemayel Meets with Top EPP Officials in Brussels

Kataeb leader Samy Gemayel met in Brussels with the President of the European People's Party (EPP), Joseph Daul, with talks focusing on the latest developments in Lebanon and Europe.

Gemayel also met with the EPP's Secretary General, Antonio López-Istúriz, and the Vice-Chair responsible for Enlargement and Mediterranean Policy, Andrey Kovatchev.

Gemayel is on a visit to Brussels to attend the EPP's political assembly as well as the executive meeting of the Centrist Democrat International (IDC-CDI).

The Lebanese Kataeb party was unanimously elected in 2016 by the political assembly of the European People's Party to join a new partnership platform for parties from the MENA region.

Founded in 1976, the European People's Party, pan-European party of the centre-right, is the largest political organization in Europe with 80 parties and partners from 42 countries, 13 heads of state and government (both, EU and non-EU), 14 European Commissioners and the largest Group in the European Parliament.
