In the recent EU Parliament elections, European Union leaders agreed on the officials who will fill key positions in the world's largest trading bloc in the coming years.
EU leaders met recently in Brussels to decide the bloc's leadership for the next five years.
Antonio Costa, the newly elected president of the European Council, proposed Ursula von der Leyen as a candidate for president of the European Commission and chose Kaja Kallas as a candidate for High Representative
Antonio Costa, former Prime Minister of Portugal, has been chosen to replace Charles Michel as President of the Council. His appointment as president of the Council marks a new stage, despite the doubts surrounding his political career in Portugal.
His diplomatic and previous government skills are seen as assets to enhance the Council's role in EU affairs.
Accepting his new role, Costa expressed a sense of mission, stating: "It is with a strong sense of mission that I will take on the responsibility of being the next President of the European Council." He thanked his socialist supporters and the Portuguese government for their support and emphasized his commitment to unity and the advancement of the Strategic Agenda.
The selection of the trio reflects the EU's emphasis on political diversity, geographical representation and gender balance in leadership roles. Costa's heritage, with roots stretching beyond Europe, also highlights broader inclusion in EU leadership.
Looking ahead, von der Leyen has begun talks with socialist and liberal groups to formulate a coherent agenda for her next term. She expressed her openness to broader parliamentary support to strengthen Europe's resilience and influence globally, euronews reported.
