Germany supports the summit on peace in Ukraine planned for June. I also confirmed my attendance to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський in today's phone call. We both agreed to work towards a broad global participation.

Más allá del contenido, un ministro no habla de un presidente electo al no estar al mismo nivel en la jerarquía de gobierno. La etiqueta diplomática así lo marca precisamente para evitar incidentes.

After meeting Xi in trilateral meeting hosted by Macron, VDL: «As we’ve shown, we will defend our companies and won’t hesitate to do so if required»

Chinese EVs and steel «flooding the market» and «world doesn’t have capacity to absorb Chinese manufacturing surplus.»

Macron: 'I am not suggesting we move away from China. However, I think that we must better protect our national security, our sovereignty, de-risk part of our supply chains and be much more realistic in defending our interests.'

Kaja Kallas got the star treatment in Paris today. Bilateral with Macron, Sorbonne and all-round media. Interesting.

A French restaurant, no advisors, and China on the menu. To be a fly on the wall.

Todavía no hay convocatoria oficial por parte de presidencia en vista de la comparecencia de Pedro Sánchez mañana.

Giorgia Meloni announces she’s running in the European elections & will be lead candidate for Brothers of Italy. It’s symbolic - she won’t be swapping seats - but it works for her: it’s a show of personal strength (Call me Giorgia) both in Rome and Brussels if she scores big win.
