#COP29

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

Thank you @PM_ViktorOrban for your great hospitality and for being an excellent host of the #EPC and #EUCO in beautiful Budapest.

Together, we forged support for the endorsement of the Budapest Declaration - a clear commitment to a stronger, more competitive, and more sovereign Europe.

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

Congratulations to President-elect @realDonaldTrump.

🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸 have an enduring alliance and a historic bond. As allies and friends, the EU looks forward to continuing our constructive cooperation.

The EU will pursue its course in line with the strategic agenda as a strong, united, competitive and sovereign partner while defending the rules-based multilateral system.

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

Promised & delivered ✔️

The 50 billion agreed in G7 will be delivered and will help support Ukraine in its fight for freedom against Russian aggression and for its reconstruction.

The EU is the key to delivering on this commitment. Russian assets will remain immobilised until Russia pays for the damage it has caused.

This sends a clear message to the people of Ukraine: We stand by your side. Slava Ukraini! 🇪🇺🇺🇦

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

The EU’s strong regulatory tradition is a powerful tool—not a weakness.

We must create smart regulations that protect our values, while spurring innovation, growth, and economic progress.

Artificial Intelligence will be an extraordinary tool for achieving our goals.

#OdooExperience

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

Europe should be a long-term home for start-ups & businesses, with access to capital and the support they need to thrive.

The digital revolution and AI are extraordinary drivers of progress and they must serve people, freedom, and human rights.

We must invest in our digital and green future, cut red tape for our businesses, and support innovation.
