Congratulations to Robert Abela on your electoral victory. Malta plays a central role in the Mediterranean. A region ever more strategic for Europe’s future. So let’s continue our cooperation.

🇱🇻 First phone call with Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs. Hybrid threats faced by the Baltic states are urgent. So we got to work immediately. We discussed Latvia’s €3.5 bn SAFE plan and its contribution to our European flagship defence projects. Let’s sign it soon!

We’re on a good direction of travel on fundamental rights. Notably on academic freedom. It is so important that young Hungarians can benefit from the wonderful experience of Erasmus. As early as the next academic year. This is our shared ambition.

On investments, the hard work has paid off. Our teams have agreed on a list of projects for a revised NextGenEU Plan. We can finally unlock €10 billion, subject to the reforms adopted and investments implemented. We have also made progress in cohesion policy, unlocking €6.4 billion overall.

Dear Peter Magyar, it has only been a few weeks. But we can feel a strong wind of change across Hungary. Fight corruption. To kickstart economic recovery. And restore the rule of law. Today we share the progress made ↓ link.europa.eu/9PH3Dh

Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line. A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians. On EU territory. We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.

Welcome to Brussels, Prime Minister Radev! Today, we covered a lot of ground. From your ambitious reform agenda allowing EU investments to flow in. To Bulgaria's central role in our security architecture ↓ link.europa.eu/KTFTXn

Congratulations to Andris Kulbergs on becoming Prime Minister of Latvia. We will work closely together to address the hybrid threats facing Latvia and our Baltic partners. We will also join forces for a robust, competitive European industry. Apsveicu! 🇱🇻

Congratulations to the Ukrainian Parliament and President Zelenskyy's team for the swift work to ratify the main documents related to the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan. This hard work paves the way for the first disbursements in June.

On the phone with President Zelenskyy, I reiterated Europe’s full support for Ukraine as Russia doubles down on its brutal war of aggression. Air defence and drone and counter-drone capabilities are among Europe’s most urgent defence priorities.

As the world’s leading donor, Europe will continue to defend the dignity of those in need. And defend those who risk their lives to help them. Today, we are ensuring life-saving aid is delivered more efficiently, even in the toughest environments. link.europa.eu/nDr9cN

I want to praise the resilience of the Baltic people. You have responded with calm and responsibility. And with a clear message to Russia: You will fail. link.europa.eu/wYfJHC

I’m in Vilnius to send a clear message: Europe stands in full solidarity and unity with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. And we are stepping up our support. Because when Baltic States are being tested, Europe as a whole is being tested.

I was heartbroken to learn of the tragic accident between a train and a school bus in Buggenhout today. My deepest condolences go out to the victims’ families and their loved ones. Today, Europe grieves with Belgium.

Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations. Terror against civilians is not strength. It's despair. We stand firmly with Ukraine, with further support on the way to reinforce its air defence systems.

I welcome the progress towards an agreement between the US and Iran. We need a deal that truly de-escalates the conflict, reopens the Strait of Hormuz and guarantees toll free full freedom of navigation.

Wherever there is trust and partnership, there is Global Gateway. We are investing €5 billion in Mexico, in line with President Sheinbaum’s Plan México. Your priorities are our priorities ↓

We’re giving an unprecedented boost to EU–Mexico trade relations. Eliminating virtually all tariffs, saving businesses millions. Giving wider choice to consumers.

We’re opening an EU-Mexico Summit of historic importance. There is so much Europe and Mexico can offer one another. But even more importantly, there is so much we can achieve together. A stronger partnership starts today. 🇪🇺🇲🇽

Congratulations, dear Janez Janša, on your election as Prime Minister of Slovenia. Looking forward to our cooperation to tackle our common challenges: Strengthening our security, economic resilience and competitiveness on the global stage. For Slovenia and for Europe.

🛬 Touchdown in Mexico One of Europe’s closest partners in Latin America. Looking forward to our new 🇪🇺🇲🇽 agreements. Expanding our political cooperation on the global scene Championing human rights, gender equality and tackling climate change. And boosting trade & investment like never before.

Russia’s public threats against our Baltic States are completely unacceptable. Let there be no doubt. A threat against one Member State is a threat against our entire Union.

Our Single Market is one of Europe’s greatest success stories. And it requires a clear vision and constant work, from all of us. And on all its dimensions – from digital to social policy. This is what the “One Europe, One Market roadmap” is for. → link.europa.eu/kqkn3q

A deal is a deal, and the EU honours its commitments. I welcome the agreement reached by the European Parliament and the Council on reducing tariffs for US industrial exports to the EU.

Very good call with President Erdoğan. Türkiye is a key partner in a region in turmoil. Our interests converge; keeping trade routes open, energy flowing and supply chains stable. We will continue working closely together on these priorities.

Our Union is built by all its citizens. The European Order of Merit honours individuals whose outstanding contributions to the European project deserve recognition. Congratulations to this year‘s recipients and thank you for all you have done.

Good exchange with European industry leaders at the ERT spring plenary this morning. From strengthening our energy independence and completing our Single Market and trade - it’s clear that we are on the right track.

Happy to join Prime Minister Kristersson & Prime Minister Modi in Gothenburg. Our 🇪🇺🇮🇳 agreement - the mother of all deals! - heralds a new era in our relations. We're working hard to have it applied this year. To fast-forward its benefits for our people & businesses ↓ link.europa.eu/HPqgg4

Today on #IDAHOT, I want to send a strong message of support to the LGBTIQ+ community. The EU stands with you. For every person’s right to live and love openly. And to be true to its authentic self. Your journey and safety matter. I will always be your ally.

Excellent call with PM Lawrence Wong 🇸🇬 Europe and Singapore are strong, reliable partners at a time when trusted partnerships matter more than ever. Our trade relationship is thriving, and we explored ways to deepen it further.

Last night, Russia launched one of its longest and most relentless drone attacks against Ukraine. Another night of death and destruction. And the indiscriminate targeting of civilians.

Congratulations on receiving the Charlemagne Prize, dear Mario. Well deserved, Mr Euro.

Guter Austausch mit Bundeskanzler Merz am Rande der Karlspreisverleihung in Aachen. Wir haben über unsere Zusammenarbeit bei der Stärkung unserer europäischen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit gesprochen.

From Berlin to Barcelona by train. Today cross-country journeys mean several bookings and risks if you miss a connection. Let's change that. With one ticket and full passenger rights all along your journey. That‘s our new passenger package. link.europa.eu/HGxmpv

Good meeting with @eesc.bsky.social President Séamus Boland. The EESC is the voice of civil society in Europe. Together, we’ll work to defend democracy and deliver EU policies for people, especially the young and the most vulnerable. From affordable housing to the fight against poverty.

Digital spaces provide immense benefits for learning and more. But the risks for our children are real. We must build a digital world in which they can grow up free and secure. Protected by the values Europe stands for. Speech at the European Summit on AI & Childten → link.europa.eu/VDgDmN

Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children taken by Russia remain separated from their country and loved ones. We will not rest until every single one of them is reunited with their families.

Very grateful for the swift and efficient disembarkation of the Hondius ship in Tenerife. My thanks to the Spanish government and all the authorities involved on the ground. We are working hand in hand with Spain, @who.int and the ECDC, organising evacuation flights.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on becoming Prime Minister of Hungary. This Europe Day, our hearts are in Budapest. The hope and promise of renewal is a powerful signal in these challenging times. We have important work ahead of us. For Hungary and for Europe, we are moving forward together.

It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

72% of Europeans say their country benefits from EU membership. With the global situation and the cost of living as main concerns, 73% view the EU as a stabilising force in an uncertain world. Together we are greater than the sum of our parts. link.europa.eu/Cd4BKK

Congratulations to Rumen Radev on becoming Prime Minister of Bulgaria. At a time of profound geopolitical change, we have a strong agenda to work on. From security and defence to jobs, competitiveness and energy independence. Together we move forward, for Bulgaria and for Europe.

I had a very good call with President Trump. We discussed the situation in the Middle East and our close coordination with regional partners.

Over the next two days, Poland and Lithuania will be the first countries to sign SAFE loan agreements. These two plans alone are over €50 billion, to close critical capability gaps and keep our Eastern flank safe.

For Orthodox Easter, Russia proposed a ceasefire. Only to intensify its brutal attacks on Ukraine - almost 8,000 violations of the ceasefire they proposed. Now, a ceasefire proposed only to guarantee a pause for their Red Square celebrations.

I welcome the political agreement on our Digital Omnibus on AI. This provides a simple, innovation-friendly environment for our European AI ecosystem to grow. At the same time, we are strengthening protections for our citizens. For safe and simple AI governance in Europe.

⁨⁨Today, we put forward a strategy to prevent and reduce poverty. We are taking decisive action with a strengthened Child Guarantee, better prevention of homelessness and full inclusion for persons with disabilities. link.europa.eu/QKjrKt
