Dear @NikolPashinyan, congratulations on your electoral victory.

The spirit of the Velvet Revolution you led in 2018 is alive and well.

We deeply value our partnership with a democratic Armenia that is drawing ever closer to Europe.

Armenia can count on us.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Congratulations @NikolPashinyan on the victory in Armenia’s national elections.

Let us continue building on this renewed momentum to strengthen EU-Armenia relations 🇪🇺🇦🇲

[IoannaDementiEU 🇪🇺 @IoannaDementi]

Europe Day reminds us that unity, peace and cooperation are the foundations of a stronger future for all Europeans. 🇪🇺
Today, we celebrate the values that connect us beyond borders and inspire solidarity, democracy and hope across Europe.

Happy Europe Day! 💙💛

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is Europe Day.
And Ukraine is marking it not formally or through sloganeering, but fully aware that we are already an inseparable part of the European family. We are defending Ukraine, our independence, our future – and in doing so, we in Ukraine are defending our Europe. A Europe of which Ukraine has been and will remain a part.

From the first days of the full-scale war until today, Europe has stood with Ukraine. And this is not charity – it is a choice made by Europeans: to stand on the same side as the brave and the strong – the Ukrainians who are fighting today for peace and true protection against tyranny, not only for themselves, but for the entire continent. And we will inevitably defend our state, our people, and our right to freely choose our future – a future in Europe.

Glory to Ukraine!

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ 🇬🇷 Greece is a consequential partner in EU enlargement, bordering several candidate countries.

In Athens with Prime Minister @kmitsotakis, I discussed recent positive developments in Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine, Moldova, as well as the wider EU path for the Western Balkans.

I also met @GreeceMFA Giorgos Gerapetritis here.

The Greek government is highly engaged in the enlargement process, especially in the Western Balkans, and will play a crucial role in driving progress during its Council Presidency at an important juncture next year.

We also talked about possible steps to continue building confidence between Türkiye and all EU Member States, particularly Cyprus.

Today is Greece’s National Day. 🇬🇷

Lithuania warmly congratulates #Greece on its National Day. Bound by shared values of freedom, democracy and security we hope to further strengthen our close cooperation.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

The @Europarl_EN stands with the people of Iran and condemns the regime's attacks on its own people and on civilians across the region.

We will continue to push for dialogue, respect for international law, a swift conclusion to the conflict, and the right of the Iranian people to choose their own destiny in liberty.

Those responsible for the aggression against Ukraine must be held accountable.

Today, we have proposed that the EU become a founding member of the Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.

The Security and Defence Partnership with Australia, signed by HR/VP @kajakallas, recognises that Europe and the Indo-Pacific face common threats.

The Partnership deepens existing areas of cooperation on security and defence and initiates new ones.

Australia and the European Union signed a trade deal that was eight years in the making, removing tariffs for almost all European goods and for nearly all exports of Australian critical minerals https://t.co/1irNxdPA2A

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The EU and Iceland are close friends.
Our security is shared, and so are the challenges we face.

Today’s signature of an EU-Iceland Security and Defence Partnership takes our relationship to the next level.

This will deepen our cooperation in areas that matter for the safety of our citizens, from maritime security to the protection of critical infrastructure.

This is a win for the EU and for Iceland.

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

On 29 August, the people of Iceland will vote on whether to restart talks on joining the EU.

If Icelanders vote to go ahead, we are determined to quickly advance negotiations on Iceland’s priorities.

With Foreign Minister @thorgkatrin I discussed Iceland’s specific realities.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Moldova is moving fast with its reforms towards the European path 🇪🇺🇲🇩

With @Parliament_RM Speaker @Igor_Grosu_md, we focused on deepening cooperation through political support and capacity building.

Our @Europarl_EN antenna office in Chișinău is already proving to be a vital bridge.

We also renewed the Memorandum of Understanding between our parliaments, cementing our commitment to a shared future.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Dear President @Christodulides Europe stands in full solidarity with Cyprus, amid the instability caused by the crisis in the Middle East.

Together, we continue engaging on de-escalation, continuing our work with regional partners.

Tomorrow at EUCO, we will discuss how to cushion the impact of this crisis on our European economy.

Especially on energy. I will work closely on this with you and @CY2026EU.
