Thorny Summit: Turkey, Belarus, China, Migration Among Questions Facing EU
Leaders

Lisa Bryant

   PARIS - Tough foreign policy issues, including tensions with Turkey,
   sanctions against Belarus and relations with China, will be up for
   discussion at a two-day European Union summit that starts Thursday.

   This end-of-month summit will be a test on whether the European Union
   can speak with one voice over thorny issues in its neighborhood and
   beyond.

   The summit was delayed a week after Charles Michel, president of the
   27-member European Council, was quarantined for possible coronavirus
   infection. He has since tested negative.
