Prime Minister Koizumi then took part in the 15th Japan-EU Summit Meeting with Federal Chancellor Schuessel and Mr. Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, the President of the European Commission, at the Prime Minister's Residential Quarters. At the summit meeting, the leaders affirmed that Japan and the EU share fundamental values, such as democracy, human rights, and the market economy.

The leaders then released a joint press statement which set priority actions to be taken by the time of the next Japan-EU Summit Meeting. After the summit meeting, Prime Minister Koizumi, Federal Chancellor Schuessel, and President Barroso held a joint press conference. At the press conference, Prime Minister Koizumi raised three points important in Japan-EU relations, which are "visible cooperation and strengthening of agreement and cooperation in the areas of nuclear energy and customs," "the importance of strategic dialogues and their enhancement," and "expansion of people-to-people exchanges." In regards to people-to-people exchanges in particular, Prime Minister Koizumi said, "Japan would like to accept 4,000 young people from the EU as its yearly goal." Afterwards, by way of reception a chorus was performed by the Vienna Boys' Choir. Also, as a symbol of Japan-EU friendship through Japan's national sport of sumo, a kesho mawashi (belt worn by sumo wrestlers indicating rank) emblazoned with the character for "Europe" and 12 stars was presented to Bulgaria-born Kotooshu, who was promoted to the rank of ozeki.
