One year ago, this Commission took up its work. In a Europe squeezed between East and West, we need to stand together. We need to strengthen economies, democracies and the rule of law across our continent to build trust that a larger Union can serve all Europeans better.

Honoured to be appointed as the next @UNDP Administrator. At a time when the world needs cooperation, action and impact more than ever, I’m grateful to @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres and Member States for their trust. Looking forward to joining the UNDP team.

For me, Europe is hope, it's solidarity, it's home. It's what keeps me going every day. It's my mission to work relentlessly to create trust, share perspectives and deliver concrete results on EU enlargement for all fellow Europeans.

Today’s #EPC meeting in Budapest brings Europeans together as equals in a spirit of unity. We will confirm our unwavering support for Ukraine. Now is the time for unity and agreement. Ensuring stability on our own continent is a precondition for a secure and prosperous Europe.

Warm congratulations to you dear President @sandumaiamd The people of Moldova have made a clear choice for democracy & freedom, despite unprecedented hybrid interference. Europe is your home. Belgium looks forward to continuing support on your path to European integration.

Belgium and Spain work closely together to keep Europe a leading force in micro-chip research, strengthened under the EU Chips Act. @imec_int Belgium will open its first fab abroad: a brand new pilot line in Spain. Special thanks to @sanchezcastejon for making it happen.

Now it’s up to Hungary and @PM_ViktorOrban Proud of the track record of @EU2024BE which delivered on its ambition to protect our citizens, strengthen our economy and prepare for Europe’s future. I wish @HU24EU luck and trust you will deliver in the interest of all EU citizens.

Dear @alexanderdecroo, thank you for an exceptionally successful @EU2024BE Presidency of the Council. 45 agreements across all our major priorities! Merci pour cette excellente coopération, bedankt voor de zeer goede samenwerking.

Congratulations to @vonderleyen and @antoniocostapm and @KajaKallas A great challenge awaits you. Wishing you strength and courage in these testing times for the EU.

Today I welcomed Prime Minister De Croo of Belgium to the White House to discuss our shared commitment to Ukraine's defense in the face of Russia’s war, and recognize Belgium’s contributions to transatlantic security. I look forward to a future of closer cooperation.

Russian interference in electoral processes across Europe is happening as we speak. They intend to disrupt our democracies. 
Together with @P_Fiala we will bring this to the table of #EUCO

What happened at the Claridge today is unacceptable. Municipal autonomy is a cornerstone of our democracy but can never overrule the Belgian constitution guaranteeing the freedom of speech and peaceful assembly since 1830. Banning political meetings is unconstitutional.Full stop.

Belgium stands by your side, dear @sandumaiamd . It was an honor to debate with you and hundreds of young Moldovans your incredible reform efforts to join the EU. Together, we will keep fighting Putin's relentless desinformation efforts to undermine our democratic values.

Reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require human ingenuity.    Nuclear energy will be part of achieving that ambitious goal.    This nuclear summit in Brussels is about accelerating our collective path to climate neutrality. #NES2024

De EU sloot een strategisch partnerschap af met Egypte. Door meer kansen te geven aan jonge mensen in Egypte, gaan we de illegale migratie naar Europa tegen.

🔴 Today, an important step is taken in the implementation of restrictive measures against Russian diamonds that the #G7 members, including the EU, agreed upon as a result of #Russia’s illegal war of aggression against #Ukraine. Read more in our press release and below⤵️

We can never match the sacrifice Ukraine is making every day. But we can give President @ZelenskyyUa what he requested- more ammunition to fend off the Russian agressor. Belgium will fund the Czech initiative for 200 million €. More ammunition is coming in the next weeks.

Sweden, welcome to @NATO Your accession to NATO is another milestone for our collective security in Europe. It will make us all safer. We stand as one to defend freedom and democracy in Europe and across the world.

Back in Kyiv. The only way to win is to increase our military support. As President @ZelenskyyUa says: “We will win this war together”. Standing with #Ukraine today and tomorrow until victory.
