Landed in Ottawa 🇨🇦 for a visit I’ve been looking forward to.
 
Canada is one of our most trusted partners - and a close friend.
 
We will discuss how to take our excellent cooperation forward:

→ Support to Ukraine
→ Raw materials
→ Energy transition
→ Climate action

Συζήτησα με τον ΠΘ @kmitsotakis πρόσθετη τεχνική υποστήριξη προς την Ελλάδα για εκσυγχρονισμό & βελτίωση της ασφάλειάς των σιδηροδρόμων. Εμπειρογνώμονες της Επιτροπής & της @ERA_railways μεταβαίνουν αυτή την εβδομάδα στην Αθήνα. Η ασφάλεια των σιδηροδρόμων είναι υψίστης σημασίας.

This morning I discussed with PM @kmitsotakis further technical support that the EU can provide to Greece to modernise its railways and improve their safety.

Commission and @ERA_railways experts will travel this week to Athens.

Rail safety is paramount.

The ocean is food, energy, life. It has given humanity so much - it’s time to give back.

I welcome the agreement on the High Seas; a treaty that will protect the ocean beyond national jurisdiction.

Grateful to the High Ambition Coalition for its perseverance. We made it!

Russia must pay for its crimes.

Proud of the agreement to set up the International Centre for Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression in The Hague.

A key step towards prosecuting the crime of aggression.

We must do everything in our power to bring the perpetrators to justice.

I strongly condemn the verdict by the Lukashenko regime against Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Ales Bialiatski & @viasna96 activists

They must be released. Their fight for human rights and justice in Belarus will go on

Attempts to silence them will fail. We will carry their voices

I promised to work with Ukraine on renewable energy sources, important for its energy security.

Now we deliver: a first batch of 5 700 solar panels will be sent to Ukraine soon.

Thank you @KadriSimson for working with industry on this - I am confident more donations will come.

Thorough discussion with @ert_eu tonight around the sectoral and horizontal levers of competitiveness, including deepening the single market, energy, skills, innovation and regulatory simplification.

Together we will ensure that the future of industry is made in Europe.

Thank you @SwedishPM for your support to our Green Deal Industrial Plan and your support for the forthcoming initiatives on boosting competitiveness.

We also remain firm in our resolve to support Ukraine, including by launching joint procurement of military equipment.

Competitiveness is rightly at the heart of @sweden2023eu priorities.

It is the focus of my discussions today in Stockholm, first with @SwedishPM Kristersson and later also with European representatives of @ert_eu

Together we need to boost competitiveness in Europe.

Οι σημαίες μας κυματίζουν μεσίστια σήμερα, πενθούμε μαζί με τους Έλληνες φίλους μας τιμώντας την μνήμη των θυμάτων του τραγικού ατυχήματος.

Η Ελλάδα δεν είναι μόνη της. Η ΕΕ βρίσκεται στο πλευρό σας.

My thoughts are with the people of Greece after the terrible train accident that claimed so many lives last night near Larissa.

The whole of Europe is mourning with you. I also wish for a speedy recovery for all the injured.

Είμαστε δίπλα σας

Godt gået, Danmark!

With the good progress in the rollout of the 🇩🇰 #NextGenerationEU plan,
Denmark can receive a first payment of € 300 million.

Denmark is already a leader of the green transition.

#NextGenEU will support you in keeping that head start.

It was an honour and a pleasure meeting His Majesty The King, Charles III, at Windsor Castle.

We discussed the joint challenges the EU and UK face as historic partners, and our joint duties:

unwavering support for Ukraine and fighting global climate change.

The Windsor Framework respects and protects our respective markets and legitimate interests.

Most importantly, it protects the very hard-earned gains of the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement for the people of Northern Ireland, and across the island of Ireland.
