Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 @MarosSefcovic@respublicae.eu

We're strengthening our partnerships with countries sharing the same values. Glad that San Marino will join the European Political Community meeting in June. A future Association Agreement will be an additional boost for 🇪🇺🇸🇲 relations.

Honoured to have met the Captains Regent.

I believe that our shared objective - to conclude the negotiations on the 🇪🇺🇸🇲 Association Agreement by the end of this year - is ambitious yet realistic.

Pleased to have exchanged with San Marino's government. We'll assist at every step of the way to reach this common goal.

🇪🇺🇸🇲 Thank you, Minister Luca Beccari, for your hospitality. I'm committed to deepening further excellent relations between the EU and San Marino, especially through a future Association Agreement that is being negotiated, but also through enhanced cooperation on global issues.
