In a session on the Middle East with regional partners. First, we need to ensure the full restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without restrictions. Second, the events in the Strait have highlighted vulnerabilities that we need to adress. We should work together to alternative supply routes and new corridors, such as the IMEC. With better connectivity, we can transform vulnerabilities into opportunities. We also discussed Lebanon. Because a stable and peaceful Middle East requires a stable and peaceful Lebanon.

I’m so glad to be in India today. India and Europe have made a clear choice. The choice of strategic partnership, dialogue and openness. Leveraging our complementary strengths. And building mutual resilience. We are showing a fractured world that another way is possible.

Our Union is not perfect, but it is a promise. That cooperation is stronger than confrontation. That law is stronger than force. Principles that apply not only to our European Union, but equally to Greenland.

There is hope that this moment can open a path towards a free Iran. That is what the Iranian people deserve : freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future. But allow me to make one important point. Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want.

We will never be able to match the sacrifice of the Ukrainian people. But we will support their fight for survival for as long as it takes. Because Ukraine’s security is our security. We already provided €193 bn in financial, military and humanitarian support. And we just agreed on €90 bn more for the next two years.

In Kyiv for the tenth time since the start of the war. To reaffirm that Europe stands unwaveringly with Ukraine, financially, militarily, and through this harsh winter. To underscore our enduring commitment to Ukraine’s just fight. And to send a clear message to the Ukrainian people and to the aggressor alike: we will not relent until peace is restored. Peace on Ukraine’s terms.
