Today @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and I had a VTC with Leaders of Middle East countries on the latest developments of the war in Iran. We are working together to bring back peace and stability. The EU is committed to partnership, security, and prosperity in the region. link.europa.eu/GFxbFG

Today, 🇪🇺 leaders held a strategic brainstorming session on how to build a more competitive and resilient economy that promotes prosperity, creates high-quality jobs, and ensures affordability. In 2026, Europe will deliver.

A real pleasure to hear Enrico Letta’s perspective on the future of our Single Market. Deep expertise, detailed work with stakeholders, and a clear sense of what is at stake. A valuable contribution that moves our debate forward.

Thank you, dear Mario Draghi, for your insights on what Europe needs to do to boost its competitiveness — on energy, on capital markets, on strategic industries and other critical areas. Your framing gave a fresh angle to our discussions, a strong basis for leaders’ reflections today in Alden Biesen

Today marks a historic moment as we open a new chapter in #EUIndia relations - on trade, security, and people-to-people ties. Our Summit sends a clear message: in a reshaping global order, the EU and India stand together as strategic, reliable partners.

Thank you for your warm welcome, dear Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Looking forward to a fruitful Summit and a stronger partnership between the European Union and India, based on shared values and heightened ambition.

Paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.   His words continue to resonate with the same force today as in the past: “Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.”

Good to see a contingent representing the European Union, led by Colonel Spruijt acting on behalf of the EU Military Staff, at the #RepublicDay parade.

Thank you President Murmu and PM Narendra Modi for inviting the European Union to participate in this year’s magnificent parade marking India’s 77th #RepublicDay. A spectacular celebration of India’s rich history and vibrant cultural diversity and an embodiment of its aspirations for the future.

Honoured to arrive in New Delhi for the 16th #EUIndia Summit, on the eve of India’s 77th Republic Day 🇮🇳 
Celebrating a strong and growing EU-India partnership—from trade and security to the clean transition and vibrant people-to-people connections. 🇪🇺

Leaders’ statement on #Ukraine 👇

Today we have discussed the current situation and we are clear that there should be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. As next steps, European leaders will meet tomorrow in the margins of G20 and then in Angola at the EU-AU meeting.

Together with @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu we have spoken to President Zelenskyy. From day 1, Europe has stood with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. We have been working for a just and sustainable peace with Ukraine and for Ukraine together with our friends and partners. ↓

Blending tradition and technology, the Innovation and Bioeconomy Park in Belém, a #COP30 delivery, is an example of how to process the incredibly rich produce of the Amazon in a local and fully sustainable manner.

Inspiring to see how the state of Pará is putting bioeconomy and sustainability at the core of its agenda, becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

⬇️ Read my speech at the Forests and Oceans session at the #COP30 🌿 link.europa.eu/VYYVFh

Standing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, the profound interconnection between land, seas, and people is unmistakable. Forests and oceans are not just part of nature. They are part of our future, our strongest allies in climate protection. And the EU is fully committed to preserving them. ⬇️

The EU’s commitment to climate action is unwavering—we are the world’s largest donor of climate financing, and we have just set an ambitious #NDC for 2035 and agreed on a binding 90% reduction in emissions by 2040. ⬇️

We're together in Belém with António Guterres. You’ve always spoken up for our planet and we thank you for that. Europe comes to Belém with our clear climate goals and our solidarity for those most at risk.

Dear Petr, it was a pleasure sitting at the #EUCO table with you. Thank you for your engagement and always constructive approach! I wish you all the best. Thank you! Děkuju! #Fiala

Today, the #EUCO delivered an important message: The EU is committed to addressing Ukraine's pressing financial needs for the next two years, including support for its military and defence efforts. Russia must stop the war immediately.

The European Council just held an in-depth discussion on how to make sure that Europe’s climate ambitions and the competitiveness of our economy go hand in hand. We reaffirmed our commitment to the Paris Agreement and stressed that we need to be pragmatic and flexible in our strategy.

Today, we agreed on priorities, timelines, governance. In a world of growing threats, we are accelerating our defence readiness: at pace, at scale, and together.

Today we are closing an important first cycle in our efforts to build the Europe of Defence. Since February, we have made major advances on this topic – with new tools and instruments for bolstering Europe’s defence capabilities, following a 360-degree strategy and in full coherence with NATO.

EU leaders are meeting tomorrow in Brussels for the European Council. Preparations are well under way: from room setups to mic checks, we’re making sure everything is ready for the summit. Take a sneak peak inside an EU summit ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajLdpWJuZaw #EUCO

We are united in our desire for a just and lasting peace. In our #EUCO and Coalition of the Willing meetings this week we will discuss how to further support Ukraine. 👇 Our statement on Peace for Ukraine link.europa.eu/pMvghb

This week we are hosting the first ever EU-Egypt summit in Brussels. 🇪🇺🇪🇬 Egypt is a strategic partner for the EU and a stabilising force in the Middle East and beyond. This summit marks a new chapter in our relationship.

In our meeting today with President Jakov Milatovic, we agreed to hold the 2026 EU-Western Balkans summit on 1 June in Montenegro. It will be wonderful to hold the summit in the region and in the country that is making impressive progress towards EU accession.

The #EUCO will meet on Thursday 23 October in Brussels. We will discuss in particular: - support to Ukraine - Europe of defence - competitiveness and climate - housing - the situation in the Middle East My invitation letter 👇 link.europa.eu/nJDvTb

Once again, the people of Moldova made their voice heard: they chose Europe. We heard them loud and clear. In Copenhagen today, we discussed with President Maia Sandu how we can speed up progress towards the European future that Moldovans voted for.

Our goal remains a strong and free Ukraine. Russia needs to know that the EU and its partners have the will and the means to continue supporting Ukraine until a just and lasting peace is achieved. Soon, we will launch a new programme to give Ukraine the tech edge it needs on the battlefield.

Leaders from across Europe gathered to make our continent stronger and more secure. Thank you, PM Mette Frederiksen, for hosting us in Copenhagen for the 7th #EPC meeting.

We had a very constructive discussion with President Ilham Aliyev. We congratulated Azerbaijan on the recent historic breakthrough achieved with Armenia in Washington with the support of President Trump. It's a major step toward lasting peace in the region. ↓

The people of Moldova have spoken and their message is loud and clear. They chose democracy, reform, and a European future, in the face of pressure and interference from Russia. The EU stands with Moldova. Every step of the way. 🇲🇩🇪🇺

🇺🇳🇪🇺 And it’s a wrap! Thank you New York for this week full of inspiration and good exchanges with leaders from around the world at the #UNGA80 🌎 In these turbulent times, we need the UN more than ever.

Together, we stand at the opening of the #UNGA80. The UN and the multilateral system unite the nations of the world. Effective multilateralism and a rules-based international order are essential for the pursuit of peace and prosperity.

As the UN Charter turns 80, we gather here with heavy hearts as war rages in places like Gaza, Ukraine or Sudan, and the multilateral system is under growing strain. Yet these challenges cannot weaken our resolve.
