As I sit here on the eve of 2025, I am filled with dread. Dread for world events but also much closer to home. I have to send my husband to buy a new suit. We will have funerals to attend. I have a feeling it will be more than expected. Cancer, age, etc. I don’t think 2026 is going to be easier.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, my wish for 2026 is peace. A just and lasting peace for Ukraine. For nearly four years, the Ukrainian people have shown extraordinary courage under the fire of an unprovoked war. We wish them and all people across the world peace, well-deserved peace, in 2026.

Stronger on the global stage, by forging new partnerships and standing up for the values our friends and allies count on us to defend: openness, good faith, and democracy.

Stronger at home, by fully mobilising Europe’s extraordinary potential for competitiveness and innovation in a world that is changing faster than ever.

As we start the New Year 2026, you can count on me and my team to continue working relentlessly to make Europe stronger.
