From migration to tackling online violence against women and girls, all these issues require a united European response. Through multilateralism and instruments such as the ECHR and the Istanbul Convention, we can deliver concrete outcomes for the democratic security of our continent.

The upcoming Council of Europe Ministerial Meeting in Chișinău is crucial, and Ireland, as a founding member, plays a key role. Thank you for a very engaging discussion, Minister @OCallaghanJim.
