Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran have helped prevent a return to full-blown war. The EU is ready to contribute to a sustainable and peaceful resolution. We bring economic leverage, hard-won nuclear expertise, longstanding relationships with Gulf partners, and direct engagement with Iran itself. My press remarks with Ishaq Dar in Islamabad ↓

Russia wants us to discuss who talks to them, And they are already picking who is suitable for that. Let's not walk into that trap. Negotiations are always a team effort, with a defined strategy. That’s why the substance that we discuss today in Cyprus matters much more. My press remarks ahead of today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers ↓

The two-state solution remains the most viable path to a Middle East without war. Europe is the biggest supporter of the Palestinian people. Our meeting today focused on the next steps to support Gaza and the West Bank. My press remarks with PM of Palestine and Espen Barth Eide ↓

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share. That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues. We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing. My doorstep ↓

The breakdown of international law is evident in today’s two preeminent global crises — Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East. A new world is now in the making, characterised by competition and coercive power politics; a world order dominated by a handful of military powers who aim to establish spheres of influence. This is why the EU’s support for the UN now is more vital than ever. My statement at the United Nations Security Council ↓

Daily U-turns, whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed, are reckless. Transit through the Strait must remain free of charge. The EU has reached the political agreement to widen our sanctions regime to also target those responsible for breaches to freedom of navigation. None of us want to see a nuclear-armed Iran. We are in agreement with our regional partners that any durable settlement must address also other issues in addition to the nuclear one, including Iran's missile programme and its continued support to terrorist groups. My press remarks following today's Foreign Affairs Council ↓

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy and helps Russia fund its war. It is affecting our partners in the region and is dangerous for global energy supplies. Today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to better protect shipping in the region, including contributions from our Aspides naval mission.

The grim battlefield math shows Russia is losing a record number of soldiers. For the first time in years, Moscow’s Victory parade is about to take place without any heavy military equipment. This tells a lot about how the war is going for Russia. Next month, EU Foreign Affairs Ministers will continue the conversation on our approach to Russia, and how best to defend our security interests.

If Europe wants to be a geopolitical actor, we need to be more strategic in our external action. At today’s Development Council, we will discuss how Europe can better align aid, trade, security, and defence partnerships with both the development needs of our partners and our own strategic interests. Global Gateway investments must focus where they can have the greatest impact, and where countries align with our interests. If a partner country supports Russia or Iran, our engagement has to remain flexible so we can realign accordingly. My press remarks ↓

Tehran is now trying to export the war to as many countries as it can. Today, EU Foreign Ministers and our Gulf partners will discuss what we can do together to break the cycle of violence. The same drones that are attacking Kyiv, are now attacking our partners in the Middle East. So we will explore how we can support drone interceptor production. My doorstep ↓

There is now momentum to revisit a range of long-blocked decisions. EU leaders are also pushing to move ahead with a 21st sanctions package against Russia. It would send another clear signal to Russia that Ukraine matters more to Europe than it does to them. My press remarks ahead of today’s #EUCO in Cyprus ↓

Iran's attacks on Qatar’s energy infrastructure are deepening the chaos. The war in the Middle East needs an exit, not an escalation. This is equally important for Ukraine, as Russia stands to gain from the Iran war. Now is the time to step up support for Ukraine, including by moving forward with the loan agreed by leaders already in December. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

Morocco is a close, reliable, and strategic partner for the European Union. It was a pleasure to meet with Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Rabat. The EU is Morocco’s largest trading partner and biggest foreign investor. This foundation of our partnership is already very solid. But we’ll make it even stronger, including in areas such as maritime security and resilience against hybrid threats. My remarks in Rabat ↓

Of all the horrors inflicted by Russia’s war, the abduction of Ukrainian children is one of its worst. Stealing children is a calculated Russian attack on Ukraine’s future. Bringing them home is a priority. We support this with funding, aid and sanctions. The EU today imposed new sanctions on individuals and entities in Russia for the systematic unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. My press remarks ahead of the Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children with Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦, Anita Anand and Marta Kos ↓

The European Union and Mexico are partners who can rely on each other. Together with Roberto Velasco Álvarez, we held today our first-ever Strategic Dialogue. Tomorrow, we will deliver an updated Global Agreement and the interim trade agreement. These are the result of many years of negotiations. They will remove most remaining barriers to trade and investment, including in strategic sectors such as raw materials, agriculture, and services. My press remarks in Mexico City ↓

Tehran’s strategy is to sow chaos and set the region on fire. By indiscriminately attacking its neighbours, the regime is making a strong case for its own demise. The dream scenario would be a democratic Iran that poses no threat to its neighbours. But this outcome is far from certain. Right now, no one can predict which direction Iran will take.
