Our message to Russia: you will not prevail. You will not divide us.

With Andrej Babiš in Prague 🇨🇿 as I finish up the first week of my #TourdesCapitales. We discussed the EU’s enlargement, competitiveness and our next long-term budget. Protecting the future of our industries is also a matter of strengthening Europe’s security - and affordable energy is a fundamental component for Europe’s competitiveness. This is one of the main objectives of our “One Europe, One Market” agenda. Je skvělé být v Česku!

Great to meet with Prime Minister Robert Fico 🇸🇰 today, as I began my second annual #TourdesCapitales in Bratislava 🇸🇰. Europe’s strength comes from our unity, built on the basis of all 27 national positions. In my meetings with European leaders in the coming weeks I will listen and share my plans for the months ahead. Je fajn byť na Slovensku!

Thank you Mark Rutte Rutte for gathering us in The Hague today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and Ursula von der Leyen. A just and lasting peace in #Ukraine is urgent. For the Ukrainian people, for European security and to preserve global stability. Russia needs to stop this war of aggression. Russia must accept an immediate and unconditional cease fire. Russia must engage in real peace negotiations. We will continue to give full support to Ukraine and put pressure on Russia to achieve a just, lasting peace.

Today, all 27 leaders stand together, united and committed to supporting Ukraine. We are moving forward on accession talks, strengthening Ukraine’s defence through our support loan, and increasing pressure on Russia with new sanctions. Our strategy is working. Together, we are turning the tide. It was a pleasure to welcome you to the #EUCO, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський.

Cyprus’ own history of occupation and division has given it a very concrete understanding of the crucial value of international law for peace and stability among nations. Europe is not just a geographical reference – it is a community of values. That is why the European Union cannot accept violations of international law - whether in Cyprus, Latin America, Greenland, Ukraine, or Gaza.

Great to welcome you in Brussels, Mark Carney! It’s great to have you with us after a very successful G7 summit in Kananaskis just days ago. The EU 🇪🇺 and Canada 🇨🇦 have never been closer. And today’s #EUCanada summit that will bring our relationship to new heights. Let’s get started!

A multipolar world requires multilateral solutions. In this new reality, the EU must defend the rules-based international order. Violations of international law must not be accepted, human rights violations must not be tolerated. Freedom and human rights cannot be achieved through bombs. Only international law upholds them.

Today, we open a new chapter in EU-Viet Nam relations. We are deepening our partnership, based on mutual respect and shared ambitions. The EU and Viet Nam are reliable and predictable partners, united by a strong commitment to the international rules-based order, to multilateralism, and to peace and stability. Together, we can act on issues that matter to us all - trade, clean energy, security and defence, sustainable development. Thank you, Mr President Luong Cuong, for your warm welcome and for our very positive discussions during my visit.

El Cablebús CDMX es un excelente ejemplo de la capacidad de las infraestructuras de transporte para transformar la vida urbana y fomentar la inclusión social. La vida de millones de personas en CDMX ha cambiado para mejor gracias a este proyecto, fruto de la colaboración de las administraciones mexicanas con empresas europeas punteras en el sector. Los teleféricos en CDMX y los proyectos asociados de movilidad ilustran cómo la tecnología europea puede apoyar objetivos sociales y climáticos en nuestros países socios, impulsado nuestra agenda común y mejorando la vida de nuestros ciudadanos #UEMexico

Heureux d’être à Avignon pour l’ouverture de l’un des plus grands festivals de théâtre au monde. Depuis près de 80 ans, le Festival d’Avignon est un rendez-vous incontournable de la culture européenne. La culture est un langage commun qui nous rassemble. Elle est aussi le socle des valeurs sur lesquelles nous construisons l’Europe : la liberté, la diversité et la créativité.

Multilateralism is not old-fashioned. Multilateralism is not outdated. Multilateralism is our best – maybe our only – defence against disruption, violence and chaos. And South Africa put multilateralism to work. Thank you President Ramaphosa for your leadership. The South Africa G20 Presidency have done an exceptional work throughout the year. The EU is here, standing next to South Africa. A predictable, reliable, and trustworthy partner, working together with our G20 partners. Because nobody cannot tackle global challenges alone. As we start a new cycle of G20 Presidencies, I am looking forward to working together on tackling global challenges.
