Another fact: in North Korea, the Workers' Party of Korea holds 87.5% of the seats in parliament. It seems that North Korea can deliver both ammunition and political inspiration to Russia.

Winter-wandering past engineering feats in Ville de La Louvière & agreeing with the geese that the snow ❄️ must go now!

This is a victory for Ukraine. A victory for all of Europe. A victory that motivates, inspires, and strengthens.

Dear Christopher Luxon, I would like to warmly congratulate you and wish you every success in your appointment as Prime Minister. It comes at a time when 🇪🇺 EU- 🇳🇿 NZ relations are at an all time high and cooperation between friends is more important than ever.

🌍🤝 European Parliament overwhelmingly approves free trade agreement with New Zealand, showing commitment to rules-based trade. EU 🇪🇺 and NZ 🇳🇿 set an example for cooperation in a world facing protectionism. #EUNZTrade #TradeRevival

Next gig: Eurovision !

EU and New Zealand are likeminded partners. Our free trade agreement places sustainability at its heart. I am honoured to present it to the European Parliament plenary today.

Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow’s vote 🤞🏻

“We cannot look at China only as a trading partner, or an industrial powerhouse. But also as a technological competitor, a military power, a global player with a distinct and diverging idea of the global order.” ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

As EU & its 27 member states, we are gravely concerned about the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

We call for immediate pauses in hostilities and the establishment of humanitarian corridors, so that humanitarian aid can safely reach the population of Gaza.

We call on Hamas to immediately & unconditional release all hostages.
We condemn the use of hospitals and civilians as human shields by Hamas.

Civilians must be allowed to leave the combat zone. Hostilities are severely impacting hospitals & taking a horrific toll on civilians.

Started another great #EU Diplomacy day in beautiful #Brussels with the women #EU Ambassadors network. Our aim is a bigger meeting room next year! #Equality #DiversityAndInclusion
