A good meeting with Minister @claudiabauer_at in Vienna on EU enlargement, migration and a modern EU-budget. We work closely together on many of these issues, also in the EU. Important to stick together in a decisive period for Europe.
Eerste bestemming vandaag: Wenen. Met Europaminister @claudiabauer_at sprak ik over de toekomst van de EU, EU-uitbreiding, een modern EU budget en migratie. Onze landen werken nauw samen op veel van deze thema's, ook in de EU. Belangrijk om hierop voort te bouwen.
Vandaag bezoek ik Oostenrijk, Slowakije en Hongarije. Deze drie landen zijn belangrijke partners voor Nederland binnen de EU en NAVO, juist nu Europa voor grote keuzes staat over veiligheid, concurrentiekracht, energie, migratie en blijvende steun aan Oekraïne.
