A pleasure to speak at @unb_oficial in Brasilia.
We welcome renewed dynamic in ๐ช๐บ-๐ง๐ท relationship, based on shared values, and strong economic, social and cultural ties.
And we want to deepen our cooperation with a nation that can be a strategic ally in pursuing these values.
Good discussion with UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade @jreynoldsMP on ๐ช๐บ๐ฌ๐ง trade relations & global challenges.
I thanked for UK contribution to the G7 loans to Ukraine. Essential for Ukraine to defend itself against Russiaโs unlawful aggression.
From Brussels to Big Ben, the trade clock never stops!
The numbers don't lie: the ๐ช๐บ-๐ฌ๐ง partnership remains strong.
In 2023, total trade reached โฌ993 billion, and in 2022, FDI stocks hit โฌ1,173 billion.

Also meeting fellow ministers to discuss bilateral and global trade issues.

Thank you for the hard work @Trade_EU.
The Commission's work to open new export opportunities, break down barriers and diversify supply is paying off, with direct benefits to EU producers, farmers, and consumers.
Essential for EU prosperity, competitiveness, economic security.
The Commission has today imposed provisional countervailing duties on imports of battery electric vehicles from China, in the context of the anti-subsidy investigation initiated on 4 October 2023.
