The EU has to increase its strategic responsibility and be a stronger security provider, including through partnerships.
On 28-29 May, we will gather in Brussels partners from all around the world for the #SchumanForum, to join forces for global peace and stability.
On #EuropeDay, we mark Schuman's vision that laid the foundation of our Union. With wars raging around us, from Ukraine to Gaza, the message that former enemies can make peace and build a better future is more relevant than ever.
As EU we continue working for peace. Everywhere.
Today is #EuropeDay 🇪🇺
Let’s celebrate continued unity and solidarity in Europe and strong partnerships globally; brought and inspired by the Schuman Declaration in 1950.
