Busy Friday morning in Oslo 😅! @POLAND25EU together with the @EUiNorge had the honour of hosting PM @jonasgahrstore.
Nothing is more important in times of crisis than strategic partners! Somewhat squeezed .... but there is always enough space at the table for Norway😉
🇳🇴🤝🇪🇺🤝🇵🇱
We debriefed 🇹🇷🇬🇧🇨🇦🇳🇴🇮🇸 of our landmark European Council yesterday.
With our REARM Europe plan, we are stepping up in defence.
For the defence of our people, territories and assets.
And for the long-term security of our brave neighbour Ukraine.
Stop pushing Zelenskyy into peace talks, warns EU’s top diplomat via @FT
@kajakallas : “We shouldn’t underestimate our own power and overestimate Russia’s power”

I am happy to have chaired my first meeting of EU foreign ministers.
Our key agenda items were support for Ukraine, Syria’s transition, and Georgia.
Watch my press conference following today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓ https://t.co/SE5PLX7LwV
Honoured to meet my friend, President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv.
I am here to discuss concrete EU support for Ukraine’s defence – weapons, money, sanctions, training of soldiers, political and diplomatic support.
There is more to come.
Ukraine will prevail. Freedom will prevail.
Today is a good day for Europe.
I am thankful for the confidence expressed to the new College through the @Europarl_EN vote.
Now I will gather my team as of Monday. And we will get to work ↓ https://t.co/AusItJ7ge5
A good meeting with 🇳🇴 Minister @EspenBarthEide on the need to enhance our collaboration, including in the area of fisheries. In today's world, allies need to pull in the same direction.
The #EEA Council 🇪🇺 🇮🇸 🇱🇮 🇳🇴
It's vital that we keep strengthening the internal market we share:
🔹via the timely incorporation of EU laws into the EEA Agreement; 🔹through our cooperation to enhance its resilience and global competitiveness.
1,000 days of Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.
Each day is one too many.
Yet through every hardship, Ukrainians have shown unparalleled bravery and resilience. Europe's support for Ukraine is unwavering. We will continue to help Ukraine and rebuild its future
Victory of Ukraine is a priority for us all.
The situation on the battlefield is difficult.
And that’s why we must keep working every day and for as long as it takes, with as much military, financial and humanitarian help as needed.
A good, constructive meeting with Minister @EspenBarthEide. We held the 2nd 🇪🇺🇳🇴 High-Level Dialogue on Fisheries to advance our work towards balanced, mutually beneficial solutions.
More than ever, important to keep strengthening our partnerships in the spirit of collaboration.
I dag har vi arrangert #EUBeachCleanup! 🇪🇺Sammen med EUs medlemsland og @HoldNorgeRent har vi ryddet søppel langs Akerselva i Oslo. Til sammen plukket vi 86 kg søppel. Takk til alle som bidro, vi ses igjen neste år! 🌍🌊🍃 #TeamEurope
Honoured and humbled by the appointment, looking forward to deliver for @eu_eeas and for the CFSP.
Mr. Matti MAASIKAS as Managing Director for EUROPE. He has previously served as the EU Head of Delegation and Ambassador to Ukraine.
He will take up his duties on 1 November 2024.
Signed and sealed 🤝 paving the way to €3.2 bn in funding via the EEA and Norwegian financial mechanisms up to 2028.
Another positive milestone, as we mark the 30th anniversary of the EEA Agreement this year.
