Today HR/VP @JosepBorrellF is chairing the Foreign Affairs Council #FAC in Luxembourg.
On the agenda:
🔹Russian aggression against Ukraine
🔹China
🔹Current affairs: Iran and Ethiopia
RT @JosepBorrellF: Following evolving reports on situation in Evin prison.
Iranian authorities responsabile for lives of all detainees, including human rights defenders and EU nationals. Expressed my most serious concern to FM @HAabdollahian.
We expect maximum transparency on the situation.
With the ongoing pandemic, climate change & conflicts, global food security is highly threatened. The war on Ukraine has also sent shock-waves across the global food markets.
Food security is a basic right, not a weapon! We need to build a sustainable world. #WorldFoodDay
More than 220mil people live under acute hunger. We are in the worst food crisis ever seen in a long time. It is more urgent than ever to reflect on #WorldFoodDay.
EEAS Deputy SecGen Helena König explains in 60 seconds what the EU is doing to fight hunger & ensure #FoodSecurity
RT @JosepBorrellF: Saddened by terrible news of flooding in #Nigeria killing more than 500 people, displacing 1,4 million and blocking food and fuel supplies.
A few weeks before @COP27P this is another stark reminder that the fight against climate change in #Africa is a fight against the clock.
RT @JosepBorrellF: Visited the 'Neue Wache' in Berlin.
The Memorial for the victims of war and dictatorship is a stark reminder of the horrors of war and tyranny.
And the need to fight against both - in the past, today and in the future.
RT @JosepBorrellF: Congratulations to #StefanLöfven
on your election as new @PES_PSE President.
I wish you and the new #PESLeadership team all the best in the important endeavour to pursue our progressive European agenda.
#PESCongress
RT @JosepBorrellF: Horrified by the reports of continuous violence, including targeting of civilians, in #Shire #Tigray.
Genuine peace efforts do not amount to increasing military offensives nor to provocation.
Respecting international law is not an option - it is an obligation for all.
RT @JosepBorrellF: The news reaching us from #Bartin where dozens of people have passed and many remain trapped are horrible.
The EU extends its sincere condolences and solidarity to the people of Türkiye and the families of the victims.
A strong multilateral system is key to addressing the major challenges of humanity's future. But what's its future? On 17 Oct, join us & @Academie_be for the 7️⃣ session of our Joint Conf. Cycle 'Towards a common European strategic culture' 🔴Follow LIVE http://shorturl.at/mtFQV
