Discussing a needed paradigm shift in engaging with global partners.

Let’s create partnerships that benefit all

We want to help partners move up value chains, helping us overcome old dependencies

We will also better fight poverty, climate change and debt challenges together

5 strands of work:

1. Make our economies stronger, more competitive and more resilient

2. Rebalance our trade relation with China

3. Protect our national security interests

4. Stand together as partners on core foreign and security challenges

5. Offer new partnerships like…

Our policies towards China need to change because China is changing.

Decoupling from China is neither viable nor in our interest.

Leaders united behind the idea of de-risking, but not decoupling ↓

‘As long as it takes’ must be our common theme in support of Ukraine.

→ Provide the necessary military support

→ Ensure economic resilience incl. with financial support for this year and beyond

→ Tightening sanctions - esp. focused on circumvention

Unity is our strength.

Artificial Intelligence’s potential benefits for citizens and the economy are great.

At the same time, we need to agree to guardrails to develop AI in the EU, reflecting our democratic values.

We want AI systems to be accurate, reliable, safe and non-discriminatory, regardless…

The clean energy transition in the EU is accelerating.

It offers real growth opportunities.

We will focus on strengthening the clean manufacturing ecosystem in Europe.

Let’s work with partners who share the same goal.

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.

We want to strengthen our Union’s democratic foundations like never before.

And for this we need a stronger partnership with @coe.

Today I want to confirm the EU’s intention to join the European Convention on Human Rights as soon as possible. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1RDxlavrnndKL

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.

As Russia wages war against democracy itself, Europe is united for Ukraine.

As we gather, @avalaina and Ukrainian human rights activists are demanding accountability for Russia’s war crimes.

It will be an important focus of this @coe summit ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1ZkKzXrLaovJv

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.

Thank you @katrinjak for putting justice for Ukraine and accountability of Russia at the heart of your @coe Presidency.

It mirrors the great generosity that Iceland has demonstrated towards Ukraine and its people.

We had good and pragmatic discussions today on 🇪🇺🇮🇸 relations

I’m very glad that we have found a common understanding on ETS for aviation.

I have accepted @GabrielMariya's resignation as she will pursue the goal of forming a new government in Bulgaria

I thank her for her excellent contribution to our team and wish her all the best

I’m confident that her European credentials will be put to good use for the country

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.

We seek a multifaceted approach to China, characterised by de-risking, not decoupling.

Of course, we are competing.

So we have to strengthen our own economic vibrancy.

Reduce dependencies.

And stand together as partners on core foreign policy and security challenges.

An important sequence of summits starts tomorrow – @coe in Reykjavik, @G7 in Hiroshima and 🇪🇺🇰🇷 in Seoul.

Many themes will connect them.

And first, our united response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and our support to this brave nation ↓
