The opening part of the FAC meeting was devoted to Ukraine and was attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha. The heads of European diplomacy discussed the current US proposal to end Russia's war against Ukraine. "Peace in Ukraine cannot be negotiated without Ukraine. In the Czech Republic, we know very well what it means to be negotiated about without us," said Minister Lipavský. The ministers also discussed further support for Ukraine, security guarantees for the attacked country, the establishment of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression, and further sanctions against Russia. "Russia proves every day that it is not interested in peace, so we must increase our support for Ukraine and intensify pressure on Russia in the form of sanctions," Minister Lipavský said in his speech. At the Czech Republic's proposal, the ministers approved sanctions against 10 citizens of the Russian Federation who are actively involved in brutal repression and gross human rights violations. "Among those sanctioned are the management of the prison in Taganrog, where Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna was tortured to death. Czechia is active in the EU's sanctions policy; evil must be confronted," added the Czech foreign minister.

In the section devoted to the Middle East, ministers discussed the Gaza Peace Plan and possibilities for active EU involvement in its implementation, including the use of EUBAM Rafah and EUPOL missions. Czechia supports the peace plan, including the involvement of the European Union, and has long advocated for increased humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.  

At the end of the FAC Council meeting, ministers discussed the situation in the Sahel region and Sudan.  They agreed on the need for stronger and more pragmatic EU engagement in the Sahel, focused on stability, security, and development in the region. This is the only way to counterbalance the influence of Russia and China. Sudan is in the midst of a civil war, resulting in a widespread humanitarian crisis. Here, too, there was agreement on greater EU engagement.

On the second day, Minister Lipavský's program continued with talks between EU foreign ministers and their partners from the Indo-Pacific region. The ministers' discussions focused on three main topics: security, trade cooperation, investment, and sustainable development. "We face the same threats in the real world and in cyberspace, which is why I spoke at the Ministerial Forum with Indo-Pacific countries about the interconnectedness of our security," Minister Lipavský said in his speech. "I presented what Czechia can offer in the areas of energy and cyber security, defense cooperation, and Global Gateway projects," added the Czech foreign minister. In addition to EU member states, partners from more than forty Indo-Pacific countries participated in the 4th Ministerial Forum. 

On the sidelines of the FAC Council, Minister Lipavský attended a number of informal and working meetings, such as an informal dinner hosted by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas with partners from the Western Balkans. This region is one of the long-term priorities of Czech diplomacy. Another was a working lunch with partners from the ASEAN countries of Southeast Asia. 

Brussels also hosted the first meeting of the Donor Group for Palestine, which aims to help improve the situation of the population in the Gaza Strip and support local government reforms. Czechia actively participated in the first meeting. This year alone, Czech humanitarian aid to Gaza amounted to CZK 41 million.
