I welcomed Moldova’s Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Valeriu Chiveri, on his first visit to Brussels. We had a constructive exchange on developments around Moldova’s Transnistrian region. The EU firmly supports the government's efforts towards Moldova's reintegration.

Productive discussions in London last Friday with Olly Robbins on strengthening EU-UK cooperation to address today’s global challenges. Appreciated the engagement with the EU Delegation staff. Looking forward to further exchanges in Brussels and London.

I express my appreciation to Philippe Lazzarini for leading UNRWA. The EU will continue to support the agency's work providing essential services to millions of Palestinians. No conflict can be solved without respect to international law & the UN Charter.

Honoured to host President-elect of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya for our #UNGA80 side event. Her courageous leadership of Belarus' democratic forces is inspiring. The EU stands firm: Belarus must release political prisoners & accountability must be central to the international response.

Broad and engaging exchange yesterday in Oslo with SG Torgeir Larsen on the EU–Norway partnership in foreign policy, security and defence. An exemplary convergence of views. Norway is one of our closest like-minded partners. Our strong alliance is anchored in the EEA.
