On #DayOfTheAfricanChild, we celebrate every child's right to health, education and a safe future.
Through #ZRBFII, EU🇪🇺 support is helping bring clean, reliable water closer to communities in Hurungwe—reducing burdens on children, especially girls, and creating more time for learning and opportunity.
#EUinZim🇪🇺🇿🇼
"From digging for water in riverbeds to simply turning on a tap." This is the reality for communities in Hurungwe today.
Access to clean, reliable water has reduced the burden on women and girls, improved household health and sanitation, strengthened food security through nutrition gardens, and created new income opportunities that are helping families build resilient livelihoods and a brighter future.
As we look back on the month of May, we are reminded of the many moments that brought people together in celebration of partnership, culture and friendship.
From a phenomenal #EuropeDay2026 to the activities of #EuropeMonth, culminating in a wonderful evening of music that brought our celebrations to a close, it was a month filled with meaningful connections and memorable experiences.
Over the coming days, we will be revisiting some of our favourite snapshots and highlights, while also taking the opportunity to thank the many partners, sponsors, artists and friends who helped make these celebrations possible.
Stay tuned as we look back on a memorable #EuropeMonth!

Europe and the Republic of Korea have built a lasting partnership.
Our cooperation is stronger than ever.

Today, the European Union took a major step forward.
All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.
At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process.
It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions.
This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges.
And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable.
Enlargement is a strategic choice.
By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent.
In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest.
Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.
#EU 🇪🇺 concludes modernised Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with Sub-Saharan Africa partners.
The enhanced EPA will remain open for accession by other ESA states, with negotiations still ongoing with #Zimbabwe.
“Our Economic Partnership Agreement with Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles is the EU’s first modern, comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with Sub-Saharan African partners – and today’s agreement to enhance and modernize it marks a historic milestone in EU-Africa relations. With nearly €10 billion in trade and €20 billion in foreign direct investment in 2024 alone, this agreement is already delivering tangible results – creating jobs, attracting business and helping our ESA4 partners diversify into higher-value sectors. The conclusion is just the beginning. Implementation is what turns ambition into real opportunity. Therefore, we look forward to launching our first joint EU-ESA Business Forum soon to connect our business communities and unlock the full potential of this partnership.”

A temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target is now highly likely. Annual average global temperatures have already exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time.
This is not only a climate emergency. It is a security one.
As long as Europe depends on fossil fuel imports, it is exposed to price shocks, supply disruptions, and geopolitical pressure. In just 60 days of conflict in the Middle East, the EU's fossil fuel import bill rose by over €27 billion. That is not an energy statistic. It is a security cost.
Tony Agotha, the EU's Special Envoy for Climate and Environment, works at exactly this intersection. Getting back below 1.5°C is the goal. Reducing fossil fuel dependence makes Europe more secure in the process.
EU emissions are down more than 37% since 1990. GDP has grown by over 70%. In 2025, renewables generated more EU electricity than fossil fuels for the first time.
Every fraction of a degree avoided still matters.
Reliable. And that's the whole point.
It's hard to believe it's already a week since the fantastic #EuropeMonth closing concert. The afternoon, under the warm sun, was filled with beautiful sounds from a Spanish flamenco guitar, Zimbabwean mbira, and our very own Trust Samende 🎸🎶
We still feel the rhythm and can't wait for another enchanting collaboration with @SofarHarare. Here's to many more magical musical afternoons! 🎵🌞

Russia was supposed to capture Kyiv in 3 days. Four years later,they are advancing at a snail’s pace.
"Three Days That Never Came" is a mini-documentary about Ukrainian resistance & courage against Russian aggression. It also shows how Ukraine adapted in the information space.
Solidaritate cu România!
One week after a drone crashed into an apartment building in Galați, a maritime drone today reached the port of Constanța.
This is a direct consequence of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
It is increasingly becoming a direct threat to countries on our Eastern border.
Our solidarity with every Member State exposed to these threats is absolute.
And our response must match the urgency.
Europe is investing massively in anti-drone capabilities, air defence and early warning systems.
SAFE will help build a stronger Romania.
And a stronger Europe.
