Kajsa Ollongren

Secretary-General of the @eu_eeas since September 2026

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

As Secretary-General of the @eu_eeas, my role is to support HR/VP @kajakallas and turn EU priorities into action. The EEAS must be part of the solution to make sure that EU foreign policy delivers better results.

So let’s get to work and stay in touch!

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future.

Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.

We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to advance Serbia’s future in the European Union.

@eucopresident

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory.

Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil.

Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving.

We will remain by your side for the years to come.

Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade.

A rules-based global order.

And strong ambitions for our climate.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Many thanks for the kind welcome, dear @dubravkasuica.

Team Europe starts in Brussels - looking forward to supporting you and @kajakallas in strengthening EU relations in the Mediterranean and beyond.

[Dubravka Šuica @dubravkasuica]

Happy to meet you again, @KajsaOllongren, this time in your new role as EEAS Secretary-General.

We discussed developments across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Gulf, as well as our cooperation across these three interconnected regions, including the implementation of the #PactfortheMediterranean.

Strong coordination is essential to ensure coherent and effective 🇪🇺 external action and deliver concrete results on the ground.

Looking forward to continuing our work together.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Russian attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea are unjustifiable and pile heavy pressure on global food supplies.

The latest deadly drone strike on a cargo ship near Romanian waters is another escalation.

Romania’s Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu and I spoke yesterday about the deteriorating regional security situation and we remain in close contact.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Happy UN Day and many thanks to our dedicated delegation teams - from New York and Geneva to Vienna, Rome, Nairobi, and Paris - for championing multilateralism every day. 🇪🇺🇺🇳 @EUatUN @EU_UNGeneva @euunvie @EUatOECD_UNESCO @EUinKenya @eudeleg_rome

Defending the UN is defending our shared future - Europe stands firm for effective multilateralism. 🇪🇺🇺🇳

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

The world’s challenges don’t stop at borders. Neither should our solutions.

On #UNDay, the EU stands firm in its support for the @UN and the power of effective multilateralism to deliver peace, protect human rights & build a better future for all.🇪🇺🇺🇳

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Met virtually today with our @EUinUkraine colleagues in Kyiv. They are working under extraordinarily difficult conditions, and I am deeply grateful for their service. The EU stands firmly with Ukraine. Russia’s attacks will not weaken our resolve 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

The 2026 Sakharov Prize has been awarded to the @IntlCrimCourt and its officials, for its important work in upholding international law and justice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the #ICC and has urged to reverse them.

🇪🇺⚖️

@EUatCoE @EU_UNGeneva @EUatUN @Europarl_EN

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

EU Member States are serious about protecting the @IntlCrimCourt and a world governed by international law.

In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work.

The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the ICC and has urged to reverse them.

The EU will use the next six months for dialogue, to find a solution and explore what more we can do to help the Court.

The Sakharov Prize recognises the ICC’s vital work in giving victims of the gravest crimes a voice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

Continued dialogue is key to turning the momentum toward lasting peace, stability and prosperity in the South Caucasus. Good exchange with AZ presidential advisor Elchin Amirbayov on EU-Azerbaijan relations in a fast-changing geopolitical environment. We share the ambition to take our partnership forward 🇪🇺🇦🇿

[António Costa @eucopresident]

It was my pleasure to welcome President of Viet Nam, Tô Lâm, to Brussels.

President Tô Lâm’s visit today follows my visit to Hanoi in January of this year, when we elevated the relationship between the EU and Viet Nam to a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”.

In an uncertain world, the EU and Viet Nam are proving that reliable and predictable partnerships matter.

In spite of our geographical distance, we share the same vision to defend multilateralism and uphold the international rules-based order.

We are now focused on developing our partnership further and investing in each other’s future: on green transition, critical raw materials, technology and innovation, strategic infrastructure and other sectors.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

While HR/VP @kajakallas takes a clear stand on Houthi strikes targeting civilians & civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia as well as against shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, our thanks go out to @EUNAVFORASPIDES and to our delegation teams across the entire region for carrying the European flag under very challenging circumstances.
@EUinYemen @UEaDjibouti @EUintheGCC

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The Houthis use textbook terror tactics against civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia to sow fear in the region.

In the Red Sea, operation Aspides plays a crucial role in protecting shipping against Houthi threats.

Aspides has escorted hundreds of vessels to safety and its role is now more visible and in demand.

Following last week's FAC & EUCO, I continued my 'Tour des Capitales', this time at the heart of Europe in 🇦🇹🇸🇰🇭🇺. While discussing urgent European affairs, I noted calls for strong coordination of EU foreign policy and appreciation expressed for our EU delegation network.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Many thanks to you and to your team at the @MFAHungary for such a warm welcome and the good exchange on key foreign policy files. Very soon you will mark the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution fighting for freedom & democracy - values that we all cherish in Europe today.

@HungaryintheEU @EC_Budapest

[Anita Orban @_OrbanAnita]

Thank you, dear @KajsaOllongren, @EEAS_SecGen for visiting Budapest and for our constructive exchange.
I look forward to maintaining a direct and pragmatic dialogue as we work together on the security and foreign policy challenges facing Europe.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Stronger EU external action draws on the support of all Member States. Thank you, @MarekEstok_SK, for the warm welcome and the very good exchange in Bratislava.

@SlovakiaMFA

[Marek Eštok @MarekEstok_SK]

🇸🇰🇪🇺 Good discussion with @EEAS_SecGen Kaja Ollongren on stronger Slovak representation in EU diplomacy, energy security and practical support for Ukraine.

Slovak diplomats have a lot to offer, including at senior levels. We also need concrete action on high energy prices and competitiveness, while continuing targeted support for Ukraine ahead of winter.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

Two days of #EUCO have shown again how much internal & external policies are intertwined: on macroeconomic imbalances, as well as on enlargement, MFF, the Middle East and migration. HR/VP @kajakallas underlined why we need to help Ukrainians defend their country
