Artificial intelligence is transforming economies and societies. A human-centric AI can be a great opportunity for Europe, our prosperity and wellbeing - for which we need to prepare.

Today, I met with a group of high-level European experts and practitioners to discuss the opportunities and risks that AI presents.

To fully seize the benefits of this revolution and boost our competitiveness, the EU must strengthen its digital sovereignty, facilitate investment, and promote lifelong learning, while at the same time protecting minors and safeguarding our values.

Today’s insights will help prepare our upcoming discussion on AI at #EUCO.

Whoever wins tonight, a strong European team will be in the final!

This is a historic year for EU-India relations, with our cooperation deepening across trade, technology, security and defence.

It was good to speak today with @DrSJaishankar about taking our partnership further, including on maritime security.

Together, we must defend freedom of navigation, protect open and resilient supply chains, as well as deepen cooperation between EU operations ATALANTA and ASPIDES and the Indian navy to uphold security in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Ethiopia is a valued partner for the European Union and one of Africa’s most influential countries.

It was good to meet with Ethiopia’s Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli and Foreign Minister @GHessebon in Addis Ababa today.

We discussed the region's most pressing security challenges, including the devastating war in Sudan, Al-Shabaab's terrorist threat in Somalia, Iran's attacks on its neighbours. We also talked about Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and its repercussions beyond Europe.

Stronger EU-Ethiopia ties are in our shared interest.
Our relation delivers.
And we are committed to more cooperation, more business opportunities, more investments.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Good call today with the President of Iraq, H.E. @nizarAmede.

I congratulated him on his election which comes at a crucial moment for Iraq and the region.

Iraq is an important partner for the European Union and we remain committed to Iraq’s stability and prosperity, in full respect of its sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.

I was encouraged to hear that the Iraqi authorities are committed to disarming the Iran-backed militias and to ensuring the State monopoly on holding arms.

The recent re-escalation in the Iran war is deeply concerning. Diplomacy is the only way forward for a truly peaceful, secure and stable Middle East.

With global tensions rising & budgets tightening, we need more ambition for multilateral reform, faster #SDG delivery & a UN fit for purpose. EU is firmly committed to delivering the #PactForTheFuture & scaling up delivery worldwide via #GlobalGateway.

In Gaza, violence persists, diseases spread, vital services are targeted, 1M+ need shelter.

In the West Bank, settler violence & demolitions increase.

Needs remain huge.

Humanitarian partners like @UNRWA must stay at the table. Supporting them is key to helping those in need.
