Good discussion with @ParmelinG.

We take note of the outcome of today’s vote in Switzerland.

The Swiss people have spoken.

The EU and Switzerland share deep ties and a strong partnership.

We will continue working together to modernise and deepen our cooperation, for the benefit of our citizens and businesses.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Dear @AlboMP thank you for your warm welcome to Canberra today.

Europe and Australia share the same vision of the world – even though worlds apart.

We believe in the power of openness and partnership.

We believe that prosperity is driven by free and fair trade.

We believe that peace is built on rules, and that our security is interconnected.

And even though we live in different hemispheres, we are ready to join forces to defend them.

In a time of global turbulence, I’m here to take our partnership to the next level.

We need to. And we want to.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again.

No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve.

You made your choice clear:

Europe. Democracy. Freedom.

Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.

The future is yours.

Al Papa viene consegnato dell’Anello del Pescatore.
Si chiama anello «del Pescatore» perché Pietro è l’Apostolo che, avendo avuto fede nella parola di Gesù dalla barca ha tratto a terra le reti della pesca miracolosa

#PapaLeoneXIV #LeoneXIV
Sono stato scelto senza alcun merito e, con timore e tremore, vengo a voi come un fratello che vuole farsi servo della vostra fede e della vostra gioia, camminando con voi sulla via dell’amore di Dio, che ci vuole tutti uniti in un’unica famiglia

Some shots from two important rooms tied to the election of a new Pope: the Sistine Chapel, now prepared for the conclave, and the "Room of Tears", a small room next to the Sistine Chapel where the Pope dons the white papal vestments for the first time.

The EU supports the people of Venezuela in their defence of democracy.

Maduro lacks all democratic legitimacy.

New EU sanctions target individuals undermining democracy and human rights.

We will continue to work with all Venezuelans for a democratic solution to the crisis.

Merry Christmas!

Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Palantir and Anduril?

We are delivering on the Strategic & Comprehensive Partnership signed last June in Cairo.

Today we decided to disburse to Egypt €1 billion to accompany its reform agenda.

For a stronger business environment, more private investment and more good jobs for the Egyptian people.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We have concluded the negotiations for the EU-Mercosur agreement.

It marks the beginning of a new story.

I now look forward to discussing it with EU countries.

This agreement will work for people and businesses.

More jobs. More choices. Shared prosperity.

The Montevideo port is bustling and expanding, thanks to 🇪🇺 companies.

I visited the terminal built by 🇧🇪 @ktntcp and the 🇫🇮 @UPMGlobal wood pulp terminal.

This business turned cellulose into Uruguay’s leading export product.

Real success stories - and many still to write!
