The EU and the Western Balkans have come a long way. Two and a half years into the Growth Plan, the results are tangible: cheaper calls and faster Euro payments, integration that does not wait for accession day.
And in an uncertain world, our partners are standing with us for security and prosperity. Standing together is a strategic choice, and it is being made.

The latest ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon offers a chance to prevent a return to full-scale hostilities.

But the death of a UNIFIL peacekeeper and continued skirmishes underscore the tenuous nature of what was agreed.

The best way to reduce the threat posed by Hezbollah is to strengthen the Lebanese state, empower its institutions, and restore its monopoly on the use of force.

To support this effort, the EU today agreed to provide an extra €100 million to Lebanon’s Armed Forces.

Pakistan is a major regional power and an important partner for the EU.

Today in Islamabad, I met with Prime Minister @CMShehbaz and Deputy PM and Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 for talks on further strengthening EU–Pakistan ties. I also met Chief of Defence Forces Syed Asim Munir in the Army HQ in Rawalpindi.

I commended Pakistan for its key role in facilitating US-Iran talks.

The EU is Pakistan's largest export destination and Pakistan is the world's leading beneficiary of EU trade preferences, the GSP+.
