On the 24th and 25th of June took place the Political-Military Working Group (POLMIL WG) in Lisbon.

The POLMIL WG is the executive body of High Level Inter-Ministerial Committee (CIMIN). The POLMIL WG is composed by the representatives from the Chief of Defence (CHOD's) and from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the member countries. It takes care of all the activities related to the development and external relations of the Force and ensures the implementation of the CIMIN decisions. The POLMIL WG also appoints a Staff of the EMF countries to act as CIMIN Secretariat, for the conduct of its daily activities and to act as the permanent interlocutor of the Commander of EUROMARFOR.

During the meeting EUROMARFOR activities and employment of the previous year were reviewed and analysed, including new perspectives in Exercises and Real World Operations (RWO) in which an EMF Task Group may contribut and Multi Cooperative Exercises.

Several issues were discussed and approved such as the EUROMARFOR Activity Program for 2026-2028.

It was enhanced the important role that Italy made during its period of command of EUROMARFOR, promoting EMF as a constructive element to EU initiatives such as the participation of EMF on RWO, Operation Atalanta, and the exercise MARSEC and also within NATO.
