It’s been two years since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine.
The European Parliament is lighting up in the colours of the Ukrainian flag to show commitment and solidarity with Ukrainians as they continue their struggle for freedom.
Because we #StandWithUkraine 🇪🇺🇺🇦
We extend our sincerest welcome to the 1st @committeeonccp delegation! Following a press event, Minister Wu hosted a banquet for the bipartisan #US🇺🇸 lawmakers led by Chair @chairmang. This post-election visit reflects a shared commitment to supporting democratic #Taiwan🇹🇼!
Today, I asked a simple question at the @oscepa: Do you want to have a dialogue with torturers & murderers? Lukashenka’s cronies do not speak for our people. Don't give a seat to a regime that murders political prisoners. Help us create a truly democratic #Belarus instead.
It took 3 decades to come to the historic moment of Germany & Lithuania joining into exemplary parliamentary strategic partnership led by the best friend @MiRo_SPD with whom we just co-chaired the first ever joint @Bundestag & @LRSeimas Foreign Affairs Committees' meet in Berlin
🇦🇲🤝🇫🇷 J’ai reçu @NikolPashinyan , Premier ministre arménien. Dans sa diversité politique, le @Senat est un ardent défenseur de l’intégrité territoriale de l’ #Arménie. Il s’est aussi mobilisé en faveur du #HautKarabakh qui a subi un nettoyage ethnique et culturel.
#NATOPA annual joint meetings continue on day 2⃣with address by 🇧🇪 PermRep, Ariadne Petridis, and a focus on #NATO’s Approach to the Southern neighbourhood & the #IndoPacific region, the #EU’s Neighbourhood & Enlargement Policies and European energy security.
Day #1 of the 2024 annual joint meetings concludes. 130+ #NATOPA legislators discuss NATO’s agenda ahead of the #Washington Summit, unwavering supporting to 🇺🇦, military & defence industry adaptation with @JavierColominaP, @ACWLapsley & other top #NATO officials.
I am pleased the Assad Regime Anti-Normalization Act passed the House with bipartisan support. This bill will strengthen the #CaesarAct & hold #Assad accountable for his war crimes. I hope the Senate will quickly move to do the same. https://t.co/DEwJPnAQDs
Sur la foi de l’article 53 de la Constitution, j’ai pris la décision de saisir le Conseil d’État en référé concernant l’accord de coopération France-Ukraine doté de 3 milliards d’euros pour exiger sa ratification par le parlement. Sur de tels engagement en période d’austérité, la représentation nationale DOIT être consultée.
Nous avons abordé des sujets sensibles de la situation internationale avec le Ministre des Affaires extérieures M. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. La France et l’Inde ont de nombreuses convergences notamment sur les enjeux dans la région indo-pacifique ou sur la situation en mer rouge

The world has lost a fighter whose courage will echo through generations.
Horrified by the death of Sakharov Prize laureate Alexei Navalny.
Russia took his freedom & his life, but not his dignity.
His struggle for democracy lives on.
Our thoughts are with his wife & children.
#NATOPA President @MichalSzczerba: “Alexei @Navalny was persecuted for speaking the truth. His death in a penal colony again reveals the real face of #Putin's dictatorship. My heartfelt thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. We will continue to stand with all those who bravely denounce 🇷🇺’s crimes and #corruption and call for the liberation of all #PoliticalPrisoners."
La mort de @navalny est insupportable et doit tous nous mettre en colère.
Alexei Navalny devient aujourd’hui le symbole de la résistance à l’oppression que Vladimir Poutine exerce sur son peuple.
Mes pensées vont à sa famille et à tous les résistants qui marchent dans ses pas.
#NATOPA President @MichalSzczerba: “For 75 years, the bond between Europe and North America has made @nato the strongest alliance in history. Despite our differences, we have always been able to unite around our core task: to defend each other and keep our people safe. All for one, and one for all!” #WeAreNATO

.@DEVESA3 (@UC_senat) se tourne vers @steph_sejourne au sujet de la sécurité du couloir aérien entre la Chine et Taïwan : “Que va faire la France pour ramener la Chine à l’accord aérien conclu avec Taïwan en 2015 et sécuriser ainsi nos ressortissants ?”

Wishing His Majesty King Charles III a speedy recovery. His example of public service and commitment inspires well beyond the borders of the United Kingdom.
I know the people of Europe wish him well.
