It is good to see and listen to our Nordic friends.

We need your expertise, now more than ever, to encourage sustainable forestry and lead the next revolution in architecture.

As winter grips Europe, my thoughts are with our Ukrainian friends.

Women, men, children are freezing in the dark because of Putin’s deliberate & barbaric targeting of the country’s civilian infrastructure. The sole purpose is to terrorise civilians.

These acts are war crimes.

We want buildings and cities that, instead of emitting, absorb carbon.

So let's decarbonise the EU's building stock with bio-based material.

Grateful for the contribution of 🇫🇮🇪🇪🇸🇪 to the #NewEuropeanBauhaus Academy for sustainable construction. https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1rmxPkVORBgJN

Healthy forests are our strongest allies against climate change & biodiversity loss.

They are also a source of building materials, and a driver for jobs and growth.

We need to carefully manage our forests.

This is what brings us to Haltia 🇫🇮 today ↓ https://nitter.eu/i/broadcasts/1ypKddeNerYKW

After 10 years since the @EU_Commission proposal, we will now have an EU law for gender equality on company boards.

The glass ceiling preventing women from accessing top positions in companies has been shattered.

This is a truly historic and moving moment.

🇺🇦 @EU_Commission надає ще 2,5 млрд євро для України.

Ми плануємо виділити 18 млрд євро на 2023 рік з регулярним наданням коштів.

Для термінової відбудови, яка призведе до швидкого та успішного відновлення країни.

Ми підтримуватимемо 🇺🇦 стільки, скільки буде потрібно.

The @EU_Commission is disbursing a further €2.5 billion for Ukraine.

We are planning €18 billion for 2023, with funding disbursed regularly.

For urgent repairs and fast recovery leading to a successful reconstruction.

We will keep on supporting 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes.

Russia’s bombs have destroyed schools in Ukraine, forcing children to long and sometimes dangerous commute.

The @EU_Commission is donating €14 million for school buses in Ukraine. But more is needed.

#COP27 marks a small step forward but much more is needed for the planet.

We have treated some of the symptoms but not cured the patient from its fever.

Let us join forces for our collective security.

For example, on addressing the dangers of Iranian UAV proliferation.

Gulf security matters to Europe, as Europe’s security matters to the Gulf.

The clean energy transformation will take place.

This is creating opportunities for today’s major exporters.

Many Gulf countries have the resources and relevant know-how.

The winners of the change will be those who invest now and massively in clean tech.

A pleasure to be back at the @IISS_org Manama Dialogue.

Bahrain is a driving force for dialogue and engagement in the region and beyond.

I believe we face a historic opportunity
to build new ties between the EU and the Gulf ↓

🇧🇭 Glad to be in Bahrain and to meet Crown Prince and Prime Minister @BahrainCPnews

Good exchange on geopolitical challenges and broadening cooperation between the EU and the Gulf region.

From seizing the opportunities of the clean energy transition to increasing trade.

Congratulations @jokowi for a successful #G20 summit.

The leading economies are tackling global challenges - food security and energy, climate change, debt relief.

G20 leaders called for an end to Russia’s war - while Putin unleashed countless missiles against Ukraine.

Good meeting among like-minded partners.

We agreed to intensify negotiations on an ambitious trade agreement.

We will also work on a new partnership on raw materials.

While G20 leaders were meeting and calling for the war to end, Russia conducted massive strikes against Ukraine.

With G7 and NATO partners, we condemn these brutal acts.

We also offer full support to Poland and assistance with the investigation on the explosion at the border.

NATO and G7 leaders condemn Russia’s barbaric attacks on cities and infrastructure in Ukraine.

We stand in solidarity with Poland after the explosion at its border.

As the investigation proceeds, we stay in close contact with our partners on next steps.

We stand united.
