In my call with @daniel_chapo24, the President of Mozambique, I commended his engagement in the internal political dialogue. The EU will continue to work closely with Mozambique to help stabilise the security situation in Cabo Delgado and implement the ongoing governance.

Sanctioning the ICC threatens the Court’s independence and undermines the international criminal justice system as a whole.

When I took office, I made a commitment to engage with countries from across the world to weave a global network. We live in a multipolar world, and the dozens of conversations I’ve had with world leaders confirm it—the EU is a reliable, predictable and attractive partner.

Today I had phone calls with the presidents of the Democratic Republic of #Congo, Felix Tshisekedi, and #Rwanda, Paul Kagame, to express my concerns over the ongoing conflict in Eastern Congo. I hope for a constructive engagement in Dar es-Salam under the Southern African.

Very important meeting with @FilippoGrandi , UN High Commissioner for @Refugees. The agency’s work in ensuring the protection of people and the good management of refugee flows is essential for the European stability. Its activity should be fully supported in these dire times.

Good call today with President Aoun. I’ve congratulated him on his recent election, which brings hope for Lebanon and its people. The ongoing ceasefire needs to be fully implemented by all parties. I look forward to enhancing the EU-Lebanon partnership and to welcoming.

Deeply shocked and saddened by the attack at Risbergska School in Örebro. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this senseless act of violence. Standing in solidarity with Sweden in this difficult time.

Det är med sorg jag har fått information om det fruktansvärda våldsdådet i Örebro. Mina tankar är hos de som har drabbats och deras anhöriga. Det är en mycket smärtsam dag för hela Sverige. Mina tankar är också hos alla dem vars vanliga skoldag utbyttes mot skräck. Att vara.

I had a good talk with @GilbertFHoungbo. Together with @ilo, we are reiterating the central role of social dialogue for economic development and social progress. This shared value is a powerful mechanism to promote decent work for all citizens, in Europe and globally.

A lot has been done already on European defence. But we need to do more. We need to do it better, stronger, faster. And we need to do it together. Now, the time has come to make choices and take decisions. #EgmontRetreat
