Starting the day with a great conversation with 🇪🇪 Climate Minister Andres Sutt — we agree that climate action and competitiveness must go hand in hand to reach our climate goals.

It’s the economy, It’s climate. But it is also a great security issue. Building a strong resilient EU homegrown energy system.

#Iran When Russia attacks Ukraine, for the EU it is a violation of international law, and that's what it is. When Israel and the US start bombing a country for no reason, with no provocation, murdering thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, and targeting hospitals,

Good exchange today with Members of the European Parliament in the ENVI Committee’s structured dialogue on Europe’s clean, just and competitive transition. The green agenda is already delivering innovation, quality jobs and new opportunities across our economy.

The EU and India are drawing closer together as today’s geopolitical uncertainty makes a clear case for deeper partnerships. It was good to meet in Brussels with India’s Foreign Minister Jaishankar, just a few weeks after the landmark EU-India Summit. (1/2)

Just spoke with President Nechirvan Barzani about the ongoing security situation in the Middle East and Gulf Region. Today, Kurdistan Region’s role as a stabilising force is more critical than ever.

Moscow stands to gain from higher energy prices and the diversion of air-defences to the Middle East. EU Foreign Ministers were clear that Ukraine remains Europe’s top security priority. Attention for Ukraine will not be allowed to fizzle out. Extract from my press conference ↓
