I have not spoken directly with Prime Minister Sánchez since the recent elections in Spain. However I look forward to seeing him again at the Informal Summit in Sibiu, Romania, this Thursday, 9 May.

My last formal interaction with Prime Minister Sánchez was on 28 December, 2018 when we spoke by phone. I also met and engaged informally with him at the meetings of the European Council in March and April.

Ongoing political engagement with our EU and international partners continues to be crucial and I use every opportunity to advance Ireland's interests with my fellow members of the European Council.
