As Secretary-General of the @eu_eeas, my role is to support HR/VP @kajakallas and turn EU priorities into action. The EEAS must be part of the solution to make sure that EU foreign policy delivers better results.
So let’s get to work and stay in touch!
Doorstep remarks by the HR/VP @kajakallas at the European Political Community leaders meeting in Dublin ↓
The sequencing of Ukraine-Russia talks is important.
The priority should be securing a ceasefire, followed by a peace agreement, and only then can there be discussions on Europe's wider security architecture.
Shifting the focus to Europe’s security architecture is diverting the attention away from where it actually should be, which is stopping the killing in Ukraine.
So far, we don’t see any goodwill from Russia.
My remarks at the European Political Community in Dublin ↓
Thank you, Wolfgang @ischinger, for the occasion to kick things off in Brussels during a first brainstorming session for #MSC2027, and looking forward also to working with the new Co-Chairs @HelgaMSchmid and @jensstoltenberg.
📢 We are delighted to announce that @HelgaMSchmid and @jensstoltenberg are to become Co-Chairs of the MSC.
They will take over from long-time Chair Wolfgang @ischinger ahead of #MSC2027.

The European flags in front of our building are flying at half-mast as a sign of solidarity following the tragic traffic accident in Bulgaria.
Our thoughts are with the victims, the injured, their families and the people of Bulgaria.

The @EUCouncil approved conclusions on EU humanitarian action in a shifting global order following the joint communication by the @EU_Commission and HR/VP @kajakallas.
They reaffirm the commitment of the EU to remain a reliable and predictable humanitarian donor at a time of growing needs and severe pressure on global humanitarian funding.
@EU_UNGeneva @EUatUN @EUtoAU @eudeleg_rome
Europe stays a reliable donor. Europe stands by humanitarian principles. And by the aid workers who risk their lives to uphold them.
Thank you to the @EUCouncil and the @Ireland2026eu for these strong conclusions on EU humanitarian action.

Thank you for your timely visit and for your insights, Ambassador @avraham_nir Feldklein.
Let us think more about greater re-engagement on the numerous key files that could benefit in particular the people of both our regions.

Taking a literal tour d'horizon from Jordan offers one of the geographically most fascinating as well as geopolitically most challenging views.

On this day of national mourning after the horrific attacks in Kraków, we stand with Poland. Our flags at the European quarter in Brussels fly at half-mast in honour of the victims, their families and loved ones, and the brave first responders.
Stronger than hatred.
Stronger than extremism.

My Tour des Capitales has brought me to Sweden and Finland 🇸🇪🇫🇮🇪🇺
It is great to be in the North of Europe. It reminds me how important the Arctic, maritime security and collective defence are.
Discussions with the key partners are essential to advance on the mutual priorities.
Really nice to meet the new UK Ambassador to the EU @CWilson_FCDO and have a great exchange of views on EU–UK relations. Lots of common ground and exciting opportunities to strengthen our partnership. Looking forward to working together!
I agree with @AmbCaiRun to continue our open and frank discussions about bilateral as well as geopolitical concerns & opportunities. Thankful that we are both looking toward preparing the ground for further political exchanges beyond key trade issues. 🇪🇺🇨🇳
Thank you for sharing your views and insights today, Ambassador Amal Jadou. You can count on our consistent and principled position, including the upholding of Palestinian elections, objecting to illegal settlements, and advocating for a two-state solution.
@EUpalestinians @EUinIsrael @pmofa @eusr_mepp
@HeleneLeGal
Pleased to meet with SG KajsaOllongren @EEAS_SecGen to discuss developments in Palestine, 🇵🇸 elections, and strengthening EU-Palestine relations. Stressed urgent need for concrete EU action against illegal settlements, settler terrorism, and safeguarding the two-state solution.

"Today's geopolitical reality makes the next round of enlargement more urgent."
Press remarks by @kajakallas with @MartaKosEU on their joint enlargement report. ↓
Enlargement has been the EU’s most successful foreign policy.
It is also a direct investment in Europe's security.
Every round of enlargement has strengthened our continent.
Today's geopolitical reality makes the next one more urgent.

"Our Security and Defence Partnership with the UK is delivering. We are working together to counter hybrid threats and foreign information manipulation, and our close cooperation on sanctions continues." 🇬🇧🇪🇺
@EUdelegationUK @jukka_salovaara @UKMisBrussels @eu_eeas @EUvsDisinfo @HybridCoE
The UK is a vital partner for European security.
With Defence Secretary @wesstreeting, we held our Foreign and Security Policy Dialogue in Brussels.
Our Security and Defence Partnership is delivering. We are working together to counter hybrid threats and foreign information manipulation, and our close cooperation on sanctions continues.
At the EU-UK Summit in two weeks, we will take next steps.
My next stop on my Tour des Capitales: The Hague 🇳🇱🇪🇺 The Netherlands was one of the founders of our Union, built on one idea: never again war in Europe.
Today, we have to defend that idea. With counterparts from the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence, and the security services, we talked about Russia's war against Ukraine, hybrid threats, the Middle East, China and transatlantic relations.
All different topics, but really one question: how do we keep Europe secure and work towards a just and lasting peace? Dank je wel, Den Haag!
@EUinNL @DutchMFA @Defensie
A stronger EU in defence builds on the contribution of every Member State.
Thank you, @PlJonson, for the warm welcome and the very good exchange in Stockholm.
