RT by @JuttaUrpilainen: In a landmark ceremony marking a new era of cooperation , representatives from the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the European Union (EU) convened in Apia, Samoa, on November 15, 2023, to sign the long-awaited Samoa Agreement.

The legally binding document, which succeeds the Cotonou Agreement, formalizes a renewed partnership between the two entities, paving the way for strengthened collaboration on a range of critical issues, including sustainable development, climate change, human rights, and democratic governance.

Early morning in Apia. It’s time to say good bye now, but this place will stay with me, probably forever. Let’s protect our blue planet and its precious Pacific gems, like Samoa, for generations to come.

When I started as
https://nitter.cz/EU_Partnerships
Commissioner, one of my main tasks was to conclude negotiations on
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23SamoaAgreement
on 🇪🇺 behalf.
With my counterpart
https://nitter.cz/rdussey
, we reached a deal in April 2021. There were hurdles along the way, but today in Apia we are finally able to sign it.

R to @JuttaUrpilainen: I want to thank everyone who was involved in this process at some point, one way or another.
 
Now 🇪🇺 and partners from the Global South are more equipped to address global challenges through cooperation – something what our world so desperately needs in these turbulent times.

Kun aloitin komissaarina, yksi saamistani päätehtävistä oli neuvotella 🇪🇺 puolesta Samoan sopimuksesta.
Saimme vastaneuvottelijani
https://nitter.cz/rdussey
kanssa neuvottelutuloksen valmiiksi huhtikuussa 2021.
Viivästyksien jälkeen voimme vihdoin allekirjoittaa sopimuksen tänään Apiassa.

This was the last Joint Ministerial Council under the Cotonou Agreement, paving the way for a new institutional

We also discussed building a common vision for

Regional protocols are

Climate resilience and blue economy are major priorities of the Pacific protocol – fully aligned with the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent, which Pacific leaders endorsed at

just last week.

R to @JuttaUrpilainen: I had a cordial exchange with the Pacific partners on their expectations for the protocol, multilateral cooperation, people-to-people connectivity and #GlobalGateway investments.
 
Work is underway to identify flagships, which combine sustainability and economic growth.

It’s my strong belief that equal societies are successful societies. 💪
Samoa has made tackling gender-based violence a political priority.
I visited “Get into Rugby +” project implemented by
https://nitter.cz/UN_Women
. It educates secondary school students about equality through sport.

After 36 hours of travelling… Talofa Apia!
🇪🇺 and 79 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries are about to agree on a legal framework for our cooperation for years to come.
It will enable us to tackle global challenges together.
We will call it

R to @JuttaUrpilainen: It’s very fitting that this successor of the Cotonou Agreement will be signed in 🇼🇸.
 
Intensifying geopolitical competition has brought the Pacific region into focus. 
 
Here global challenges like climate change are not threats of the future, but reality of today.

36 tunnin matkustamisen jälkeen… Talofa Apia!
🇪🇺 ja 79 Afrikan, Karibian ja Tyynenmeren maata ovat allekirjoittamassa puitesopimuksen tulevien vuosien yhteistyölleen.
Sen avulla pystymme ratkaisemaan globaaleja haasteita yhdessä.
Sopimuksen nimeksi tulee Samoan sopimus.

R to @JuttaUrpilainen: On hyvin osuvaa, että tämä Cotonoun sopimuksen seuraaja allekirjoitetaan 🇼🇸.

Geopoliittinen kilpailu Tyynellämerellä kiristyy ja alueen painoarvo on kasvussa.

Täällä globaalit haasteet, erityisesti ilmastonmuutos, eivät ole huomisen uhkia vaan tämänpäivän todellisuutta.
