Today, the 🇪🇺🇺🇸 Trade and Technology Council held its 2nd meeting.

In less than a year, it has become a pillar of our transatlantic cooperation.

Not only on trade and investment, but also in our united response to Russia’s aggression of Ukraine. My statement with @POTUS ↓

I offer my condolences to the people of the UAE on the passing of Sheikh Khalifa.

The Sheikh devoted his life to his country, working for the welfare and future of the Emirates.

With him, the UAE became prosperous, tolerant and open to the world. His legacy will live on.

All regions should have the capacity to prevent pandemic outbreaks & produce their own vaccines & other tools, locally.

@EU_Commission plans to make a $450 million contribution to the global pandemic preparedness fund agreed in the #G20, as soon as its governance is established.

Thank you @POTUS and @VP for calling this 2nd COVID-19 summit.

Global cooperation is the only way to end this pandemic and prepare for the future.

The @EU_Commission commits a further €400 million to support vaccination in countries in need and the work of @ACTAccelerator.

Ukraine is the world’s granary. By hampering vital exports, the Kremlin’s war is threatening food security worldwide.

Today we take action to ease transport of cereals from Ukraine & tackle urgent bottlenecks.

We will soon better connect 🇪🇺🇺🇦 with the Connecting Europe Facility

I thanked Prime Minister @kishida230 for the admirable solidarity Japan showed by diverting some of its LNG supplies to Europe.
 
It was at a crucial time for us, at the height of the European heating season.
 
We will not forget this.

We agreed to cooperate more intensely on infrastructure.
 
In the Indo-Pacific region, as elsewhere, the needs are huge and the options, limited.
 
I would like to work with Japan on identifying good projects under #GlobalGateway

We will use our Strategic Partnership Agreement to diversify and strengthen our supply chains.
 
Some materials and technologies have become essential to our economy and everyday lives. Like semiconductors.

We must be able to count on trustworthy supply chains.

Today we have taken important steps forward to strengthen our relations.

First, we are launching an EU-Japan Digital Partnership.

The first of its kind. Because leadership in this field is key to our competitiveness and security

I welcome the strong stance Japan has taken on Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
 
Like the EU, Japan understands what is at stake here.
 
Not just Ukraine’s future.
Not just Europe’s future.
 
But the future of a rules-based world order.

The Indo-Pacific is a thriving region.

It is also a theatre of tensions.

The EU wants to take a more active role in the Indo-Pacific.

We want to take more responsibility in a region so vital to our prosperity.

Today marks the 28th 🇪🇺🇯🇵 summit.

A testament to the depth of the bond between us.

Our cooperation is excellent – not least on trade, technology and climate action.

But there is so much more we can do together.

We will discuss:

• Our joint work for leadership in digital technologies

• Efforts to create diversified, sustainable and reliable supply chains

• Infrastructure projects countries and people can trust and benefit from with #GlobalGateway

I’m in Japan for the 🇪🇺🇯🇵 Summit.

In this unpredictable world, the EU wants to strengthen its partnership with one of its closest allies.

Together, we will work to create more economic opportunities and address the challenges both our regions are confronted with.

🇭🇷 Dobre vijesti za Hrvatsku!

Po našem mišljenju, Hrvatska je spremna primiti prvu uplatu iz NextGenerationEU-a.

Čim države članice daju zeleno svjetlo, Hrvatska će dobiti 700 milijuna eura.

Hrvatska može računati na podršku Europske komisije u provedbi svog plana oporavka.

This evening’s discussion with PM Viktor Orban was helpful to clarify issues related to sanctions and energy security.

We made progress, but further work is needed. I will convene a VC with regional players to strengthen regional cooperation on oil infrastructure.
