A pleasure, as always, to meet with EU Ambassador to the Maldives, H.E. Maria Carmen Moreno Raymundo. We discussed the EU–Maldives partnership, with a clear and urgent focus on protecting media freedom and safeguarding democratic space in the Maldives.

Maldivian opposition leader, MDP President and former UNGA 76th President @abdulla_shahid met EU Ambassador to the Maldives H.E. Maria Carmen Moreno Raymundo, in a meeting focused on strengthening EU–Maldives relations with a strong emphasis on safeguarding media freedom and protecting democratic space in the country.The press, widely regarded as the fourth pillar of democracy, is facing growing concerns over shrinking space for free expression in the Maldives under the present PNC regime. The country is ranked 108th in the World Press Freedom Index, four places lower than the previous year, reflecting a worrying decline in freedom of speech and expression and, by extension, the voice of the people.

'I want Russia to return every child so they can go home where they belong.'

Watch the full story on 11 May.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Rights and values do not defend themselves. In the skies, at sea, online. The EU is out there every day, far from the headlines but close to the people who need it most.

Happy Europe Day. 🇪🇺

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

In uncertain times, you find out what truly matters.

Freedom. Peace. A place to call home. The EU has delivered on that promise for over 75 years.

Not perfect. But reliable. And that is the whole point.

Happy Europe Day. 🇪🇺 @kajakallas

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Here, we think before acting. Because the people on the other side of that commitment deserve nothing less.

Together, we take time to make it right.

Reliable. And that's the whole point.

[European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺 @eu_eeas]

Russia unlawfully deported and forcibly transferred more than 20,000 Ukrainian children, while depriving millions more of safe childhoods since the start of the invasion. Russia’s systematic violations of children’s rights make a coordinated international action more urgent than ever.

On 11 May, the EU, Ukraine and Canada will co-host a High-Level Meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children in Brussels, bringing together Coalition members and partner countries that share our commitment to trace, return and reintegrate every child, and to ensure accountability for Russia’s crimes.

From negotiation tables to EU missions on the ground, women play a vital role in building peace and security.

On International Women's Day, we recognise their indispensable contribution to lasting peace. Research shows peace agreements are more likely to endure when women take part in peace processes.

The new Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030 sets out further steps to strengthen women’s participation, rights and opportunities.
