Standing together with @antonioguterres – for multilateralism, the rule of law and the principles of the @UN Charter.

Iran's attacks on Qatar’s energy infrastructure are deepening the chaos. The war in the Middle East needs an exit, not an escalation. This is equally important for Ukraine, as Russia stands to gain from the Iran war. Now is the time to step up support for Ukraine, including by moving forward with the loan agreed by leaders already in December. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

Afghanistan-Pakistan: the EU welcomes the suspension of hostilities announced on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. We call on both parties to adhere scrupulously to this commitment.

One of humanity’s greatest achievements was building a rules-based multilateral order anchored in the UN Charter and the United Nations.

The EU will always stand with the @UN to make it stronger and more effective.

Timely meeting with @antonioguterres. Repercussions of the war in the Middle East are global, and it is our responsibility to work for de-escalation and a diplomatic solution. The EU and its Member States are the largest contributor to the @UN. We are strongly committed to upholding international law and building a world where multilateral cooperation prevails.

For 🇪🇺EU, conflict prevention must be at the core of @UNPeacebuilding. Implementation of the Pact for the Future & ongoing UN80 reform offer an opportunity to reinvigorate multilateral peacebuilding efforts in a more streamlined, effective & impactful way. eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…
