Thank you @GuidoCrosetto for the warm welcome in Rome. We agree: Europe must take on greater responsibilities; we must coordinate better and strengthen our defence industrial base. That is the only way to keep our continent, our people and our transatlantic Alliance safe. 🇮🇹🤝🇱🇺

"Oggi ho incontrato la mia collega lussemburghese @Yuriko_Backes. Ribadita la solidità del rapporto bilaterale e la centralità della coesione in ambito NATO ed europeo, con un focus strategico sul rafforzamento della difesa europea e sulle prospettive di cooperazione industriali nel settore. Nel riaffermare il pieno e convinto sostegno all’Ucraina, abbiamo condiviso una visione comune sulle sfide che interessano il fianco Est, il Medio Oriente e il quadrante Sud dell’Alleanza. Abbiamo inoltre espresso l’auspicio di poter contribuire, attraverso un’azione diplomatica condivisa, al raggiungimento di soluzioni stabili nei diversi teatri di crisi”. Così il Min @GuidoCrosetto

Always good to catch up with fellow liberal @Yuriko_Backes, Luxembourg’s Minister of Defence, Mobility & Public Works, and Gender Equality & Diversity – holding the largest number of portfolios in the government. Discussed #Ukraine’s recovery and the crucial role of women in resilience and decision-making. Thanked Luxembourg for its strong financial contributions supporting Ukraine’s defence. Russia’s aggression remains a threat to the entire European security architecture – which makes such well-informed and committed allies especially important 🇺🇦🇱🇺

The notion of Universal Rights is self-explanatory: they concern us all, no matter where we live, no matter our gender, our sexual orientation or our status.

Meeting with 🇪🇺colleagues organized by the #CyprusEUPresidency. Ministers exchanged on the current political climate surrounding gender equality issues on a global & European level. The EU plays a key role in standing up for fundamental rights & against the antifeminist backlash.
