EU and UK hold Counter Terrorism Dialogue

The EU and UK have held their third Counter Terrorism Dialogue in Brussels.

The Dialogue was established by the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).

A range of counter-terrorism issues were discussed including assessments of the evolving terrorist threat landscape, and an exchange of best practice on the UK’s and EU’s responses to protect citizens.

The parties also discussed strategic approaches to countering terrorism and a range of topics related to the abuse of new technologies by terrorist groups, including preventing radicalisation online and AI.

The UK delegation was chaired by Jonathan Emmett, Director Counter-Terrorism in the Home Office, who was accompanied by officials from the Home Office, and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

The next Counter-Terrorism Dialogue is due to be held in London.
