Good meeting with Mohammed bin Salman. We want to strengthen EU-GCC cooperation. Build an economic corridor to increase trade in renewable energy, data and people-to-people exchanges. And work together to ensure the security we all need for economic growth.

The GCC summit is a historic first in EU-Gulf relations, and it comes at a crucial time. In times of conflicts and climate challenges, Europe will always be a partner for peace and economic progress ↓

The Iranian regime’s support to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is unacceptable and must stop. I therefore welcome the adoption of our sanctions against individuals and entities in response to Iran’s drone and missile transfers to Russia. More is needed.

The spectre of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still looms over humanity. This makes the advocacy of Nihon Hidankyo invaluable. This Nobel Peace Prize sends a powerful message. We have the duty to remember. And an even greater duty to protect the next generations from the horrors of

Dear @Christodulides , thank you for this very moving visit at the Paphos hospital. Together, we have just inaugurated a new haemodialysis unit. I’m so glad that Europe has invested €4 million in this new care unit. It's a concrete example of what #NextGenerationEU can achieve

Cyprus has always been a bridge between the EU & our neighbours in the Middle East. So your MED9 presidency comes at a crucial time. We’ll discuss the situation in the Middle East & our partnership with Jordan. And EU priorities for the next 5 years ↓

Dear @Christodulides , I’m glad to be in 🇨🇾 Paphos for the #MED9 Summit. The Mediterranean has long been a key gateway to three continents and a frontline for many geopolitical challenges. This makes the perspectives of Mediterranean Member States so vital to the EU.

Moldova made remarkable progress since it became a candidate. We can start bringing the Moldovan economy closer to ours already now. To help double its size in a decade. This means good jobs and a better quality of life for Moldovans ↓
