Today, the EU holds a Chinese state-backed actor responsible for a malicious cyber campaign targeting Czechia. This is a clear and unacceptable violation of international norms. We stand firmly with Czechia. My statement on behalf of the EU → europa.eu/!xrDbyf

Arrived in Singapore for the Shangri-La Dialogue. I am looking forward to meeting Singaporean leaders and the defence community to deepen ties between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. Our security relies on strong partnerships and rules-based cooperation.

Moldova faces hybrid threats ahead of its elections. Russia is likely to use cash, content and coercion to meddle. Let there be no doubt: only the people of Moldova should decide their future – free from interference. Extract of my press conference with Dorin Recean ↓

The release of Siarhei Tsikhanouski and 13 other political prisoners marks a positive step after prolonged injustice. I welcome the US engagement that made this possible and share the joy of families reunited. But all political prisoners in Belarus must be freed.

Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, as it would be a threat to international security. I urge all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation. EU Foreign Ministers will discuss the situation tomorrow.

EU Foreign Ministers met today to discuss a wide range of issues: 🔹 Situation in the Middle East 🔹 Russian aggression against Ukraine 🔹 China and European security My press conference following the Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Canada is one of the EU’s closest partners – and a trusted friend. Today, I am proud to sign a new Security and Defence Partnership with Canada. At a time of rising tensions, it will deepen our defence ties and unlock new cooperation.

Georgia: The politically motivated persecution & arrests of opposition leaders go against basic democratic values. These are authoritarian tactics, opposite of what is expected from an EU candidate country. Georgian Dream must stop weaponising the justice system.
