It was a great honour to present today my Letters of Credence to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar, as the Ambassador of the European Union to Qatar.
I look forward to working closely together to further strengthen the longstanding EU–Qatar partnership and enhance our cooperation on shared priorities.

The EU is committed with Syria’s Transition, with Peace, freedom and the Syrian citizens’ wellbeing. Let’s work together. 🇪🇺🇶🇦 🇸🇾🤝

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

On 29 September, HR/VP @kajakallas visited Syria, where she met with the Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Asaad Hassan Al-Shaibani.

The success of Syrian transition matters greatly to Europe. Syrians have waited too long for peace, freedom and a future.

The EU has lifted economic sanctions to support recovery and reconstruction and is providing €620 million for recovery, humanitarian needs and stronger institutions.

We have also mobilised around €18.85 million to clear mines and unexploded ordnance, so children can reach school safely and farmers can return to their fields.

Lasting recovery also needs security, rule of law and accountability. Families need answers. Victims need justice.

Europe is ready to support Syria’s inclusive and peaceful transition.

One year ago, 142 countries endorsed the New York Declaration for the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.

Our collective responsibility is to demonstrate in practice that two states living side by side is the key to lasting peace for Palestine and Israel, and for the region as a whole.

Food must never be used as a weapon of war.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Grain from Ukraine feeds people all over the world.

But Russia is blocking exports through the Black Sea and is deliberately causing global food insecurity.

The EU is calling for attacks to stop and grain to flow again.

Food must never be used as a weapon of war.

My remarks at our UN side event on the Black Sea ↓

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

51 countries are united today in our support for Ukraine at the UN General Assembly.

Since March 2025, Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. We call on Russia to finally do the same.

Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with international law.
