🇪🇺 Development, investment and global partnerships were in focus earlier this week (18 May), as #EU Foreign Affairs Ministers met in #Brussels to discuss how the #EU can strengthen its role on the global stage.
🌍On the agenda were the future of EU #ExternalAction, the role of #GlobalGateway in the EU’s external action, and the impact of the war in #Iran.
🔎 Ministers’ discussions reflected the EU’s efforts to strengthen its role as a reliable
global partner in the context of growing geopolitical challenges, increasing humanitarian needs, and multiple global crises.
🌍 Ministers’ discussions highlighted the importance of reinforcing the #TeamEurope approach, to ensure that the Union’s efforts are suitable presented and perceived abroad: coordinated, visible and impactful support built around shared values and partner priorities.
🌐 Ministers also discussed the impact of the situation in the Middle East on global development, including rising food insecurity, disrupted supply chains, and growing humanitarian pressures.
🤝 Malta reaffirmed the importance of linking immediate humanitarian assistance with long-term resilience, while continuing diplomatic efforts to support stability and sustainable development worldwide.
🌐 Finally, Ministers exchanged views on the Global Gateway strategy, which mobilises investments in key projects to develop infrastructure and strengthen education, health systems, and support green and digital transitions in partner countries, including enhanced support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
🇲🇹 Malta highlights the importance of a stronger Team Europe approach, building and developing more meaningful partnerships with partner countries, and ensuring greater support for SMEs within the Global Gateway strategy.
🔝 The EU remains the world’s largest provider of international cooperation and development assistance, supporting countries in fostering economic growth and improving quality of life - accounting for 48% of global development assistance in 2025.
