@asjaff @RudawEnglish @NwenarFatih @PorteParoleMEAE @francediplo_EN @jnbarrot Congratulations to your initiative of such interview. I value your engagement with the EU and our Member States.

[Thomas Seiler @92_seiler]

@EUinIraq The EU has many reasons to praise our Member States for their specific characteristics and achievements. Europe is still for many the model to follow. Let us not forget this. And this will be even more the case, if we deal with our partner countries as equal counterparts.

[Thomas Seiler @92_seiler]

@asjaff @RudawEnglish Thank you for this interesting report. Diplomacy must never stop. In particular silent diplomacy.

[Thomas Seiler @92_seiler]

@eucopresident Also my thinking is with the families of the victims. Nothing justifies such barbarian behaviour.

Proud to launch 🇵🇰 Women Leaders Project today!
With €4.8M 🇪🇺 funding, this 4 year initiative aims to boost 👩 leadership & political participation.

@PaulZiemiak @Karl_Lauterbach @_FriedrichMerz Deutsche Politik muss sich am 27. Januar - und an allen anderen Tagen des Jahres - vor den Opfern der Nazis verbeugen. Kleinkarierte Streitereien helfen nur den neuen deutschen Nazis.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

The EU is unwavering in its commitment to work hand in hand with the @UN for a safer, more just world.

Effective multilateral governance and rules-based international cooperation are not mere options but the essential means to ensure that no one is left behind.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

The EU and the US are committed to work together with partners to protect civilians, support those who try to get to safety and facilitate access to food, water, medical care and shelter.

It is crucial to prevent regional escalation.

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

The #EUCO has started with a minute of silence to honour the innocent victims who have lost their lives in Israel and Palestine.

And the victims of the recent attacks in Europe.

Terrorism and hatred have no place in Europe, or anywhere in the world.

@DanStoenescuEU @EUinSyria @eu_eeas All the best, dear Agne, for your new adventures.

@Shoaibhadeed I left Pakistan 2 weeks ago. I had a very enriching time there, knew many interesting, honest, intelligent and polite people. The country has everything it needs, if the right politics get into place.
Is this positive ?

[Riina Kionka @RKionka]

Disturbing reports out of #Jaranwala. The degree to which a society’s minorities feel safe, in 🇵🇰, in the 🇪🇺, around the 🌏, is a measure of respect for the rule of law, for tolerance of diversity, a core EU value. We call for restoring calm & order. @EUPakistan

[Mariana Baabar @MarianaBaabar]

@RKionka
Thank you for this!
Giving us reason to smile and tap our toes!

[EUPakistan @EUPakistan]

On Pakistan's 76th Independence Day, the EU Ambassador @RKionka joins 🇵🇰 friends to pay a special tribute to Pakistan. This rendition is a celebration of the rich cultural diversity of Pakistan and the power of #UnityinDiversity.
Happy Independence Day, Pakistan.

Floods in Europe or in Asia, in Slovenia or in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar refugee camps - the EU helps and responds at home and abroad. 🇪🇺

[EUPakistan @EUPakistan]

The EU expresses its condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the terrible attack in Bajaur. We condemn this horrible act of violence and attempt to weaken democracy and instil terror.
