🎙️ My interview @EURACTIV :

Security of Mediterranean also means protection of maritime trade routes & strategic infrastructures such as gas pipelines, submarine internet cables. Energy production is moving South; our interest is to keep it a safe area. https://t.co/rhyRUfkzmP

Rozumím, že Čína má k mému hovoru s Tchaj-wanem výhrady. My jsme ale suverénní země a děláme to, co považujeme za správné. Tchaj-wan je demokratická země a my s ním sdílíme hodnoty, ale i významné obchodní vztahy, což je zcela v souladu se schválenou koncepcí zahraniční politiky.

[Petr Pavel @prezidentpavel]

Dnes jsem mluvil s prezidentkou Tchaj-wanu Cchaj Jing-wen. Poděkoval jsem jí za gratulaci a ujistil jsem ji, že Tchaj-wan a Česká republika sdílí hodnoty svobody, demokracie a lidských práv a že budeme dále posilovat naše partnerství.

[Jan Erik Surotchak @jansurotchak]

Views on the CCP in 🇪🇺 are evolving, and in countries that experienced Soviet communist occupation, the tie-up between 🇷🇺and 🇨🇳 around the Ukraine war is a significant concern. Who knows better what this means than the 13 countries in Central and Eastern Europe? No one.

I am appalled by the execution of British-Iranian citizen Alireza Akbari in Iran.

This was a callous and cowardly act, carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people. My thoughts are with Alireza’s friends and family.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

Iran has executed a British national.

This barbaric act deserves condemnation in the strongest possible terms.

This will not stand unchallenged.

My thoughts are with Alireza Akbari’s family.
