Where you live should not determine whether you live. We must do more for food security and access to healthcare everywhere on the planet. Glad to pledge €470 million for vaccination and humanitarian aid at @GlblCtzn Festival. Together we can make the world a better place.

Dear @miaamormottley , you can rely on Europe as your friend and partner. Our Global Gateway investment strategy is the best symbol of this partnership. For example, to develop a pharmaceutical platform in the Caribbean, for the Caribbean and beyond.

Pleased to meet @SantiPenap and discuss closer cooperation with Paraguay. Your country is a key partner to bring our continents closer. We are aligned on democracy, the rule of law and multilateralism. And the EU-Mercosur agreement holds great opportunity for both of us.

The EU-Pakistan partnership is wide-ranging. From trade to migration. And the fight against climate change. Europe will continue to invest in Pakistan’s climate-resilience with #GlobalGateway , I told @CMShehbaz . And to provide humanitarian support to the most vulnerable.

The famous Wall Street bell: symbol of an institution that powers US economic growth since 1792. Europe is working on its own powerful model to offer its businesses the financing opportunities they need. We call it the Savings and Investment Union. It chimes with growth!
