Tonight, we celebrated Europe Day and 50 years of the European Union Delegation to Canada, a partnership that keeps getting stronger. And what better way to celebrate than singing O Canada all together? Thanks to Ambassador Tuts and the diplomatic corps for inviting me to join in!🇨🇦🇪🇺

The relationship between Canada and Europe is only getting stronger.
Canada’s participation to the European Political Community meeting says it all.
From trade to critical raw materials and defence
- our cooperation and Strategic Partnership is expanding fast and going from strength to strength.
I also want to thank you for Canada’s support for Ukraine and our joint work to bring abducted children back home.
Always a pleasure to meet 🇨🇦 PM @MarkJCarney, a friend and key ally of Europe.
The presence of Canada at the European Political Community Summit — our first non-European guest ever — demonstrates our closeness and alignment. Canada and the EU are standing firm together on the defence of the rules-based international order and multilateralism.
We are determined to continue deepening our strategic partnership.
Great to count on friends like Canada!
Excellent meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada @MarkJCarney in the margins of the EPC in Yerevan.
As close allies and like-minded partners that share common values and so much more, we had a very good discussion on European and Canadian priorities including defence, trade and Artificial Intelligence.
We will keep building on this momentum in the months ahead 🇪🇺🇨🇦
Two weeks ago in Edmonton and today in Ottawa. Always happy to meet with the Hon. Minister @BrianJeanAB to discuss opportunities for EU-Alberta cooperation in energy. Thanks for stopping by
Excellente discussion avec la sous-ministre Marie Josée Hogue sur de nombreux de sujets sur lesquels nous pouvons renforcer notre coopération: en justice, contrer les ingérences étrangères et mieux protéger les victimes
Together with @NikolPashinyan, I have invited @MarkJCarney to participate as a guest in the next Summit of the European Political Community, in Yerevan.
It is the first time a non-European country takes part in the EPC.
Europe and Canada are more than just like-minded partners - together we are building a global alliance to defend peace, shared prosperity and multilateralism.
40 years after the Chornobyl disaster, its consequences are still felt across Europe. Today, Russia’s actions in Ukraine are putting nuclear safety at risk. The EU strongly condemns any actions that undermine nuclear safety and security.
Read the joint EU statement by the HR/VP @kajakallas and the @EU_Commission: https://t.co/w3LdKq4e5t
There is now momentum to revisit a range of long-blocked decisions.
EU leaders are also pushing to move ahead with a 21st sanctions package against Russia.
It would send another clear signal to Russia that Ukraine matters more to Europe than it does to them.
My press remarks ahead of today’s #EUCO in Cyprus ↓
The world is paying attention to how Canada invests for the long term.
Excellent discussion with EU Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque on our shared priorities and what Canada’s pension investment model can inspire globally.
@EUinCanada was pleased to welcome Commissioner Albuquerque for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union on her official visit to Ottawa (20–21 April).
She met with Canadian financial authorities explore how 🇪🇺🇨🇦 can learn from each other and deepen cooperation.
