Good meeting with the European business community.

European business is a key driver of our thriving 🇪🇺🇰🇷 relations.

Since 2011, our free trade agreement has boosted trade by 110%.

A real success story that we will keep writing.

After meeting in Hiroshima, the city of peace, we are moving forward together.

We agreed that:

Security in Europe and Asia is indivisible and UN principles must be upheld;

Climate action will be stepped up;

Partnerships should be win-win.

The @G7 is more united than ever.

The clean energy transition in the EU is accelerating.

It offers real growth opportunities.

What happened in Hiroshima continues to haunt humanity.

Here we remember the terrible cost of war.

And we are reminded of our duty to preserve peace.

Russia and its oligarchs have to contribute to rebuilding Ukraine.

At this @coe Summit, we are setting up a Register of Damages.

An important step towards a future compensation mechanism.

The EU will join and cover the start-up costs of €1 million.

Good to meet @RishiSunak at the @coe Summit where we will reaffirm our support to Ukraine.

We looked forward to the debates in @G7 Hiroshima.

I expressed @EU_Commission support for a future UK-Frontex operational working arrangement.

Decarbonisation is the challenge of our century.

Our common goal must be the build-up of clean tech capacities, but not at each other’s expense.

Our incentives should be mutually reinforcing rather than compete.

The opportunities are here. We will discuss this at the @G7.

We have seen attempts of economic coercion.

That is why we are taking action to enhance our resilience.

Economic security will be a central them at the @G7 Summit.

And the @EU_Commission will table an economic security strategy in June.

Every generation has its moment when it has to stand up to defend democracy and what it believes in.

For us, that moment has come.

As freedom fighters changed the face of our continent over 30 years ago, today it is us, who will decide what Europe will look like in the future.
