The first EU-US Summit with the new US Administration took place on 3 November 2009 in Washington D.C.

Afghanistan, Pakistan, Middle East and Iran were the major foreign policy issues. An important outcome of the Summit will be the launch of the EU-US Energy Council which will hold its first meeting the day after the Summit.
