Delighted to open the 1st MA in European Union Studies & the Atlantic at Institute of Political Studies, Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Inspiring to meet students from so many countries and exchange views on the challenges and opportunities facing the Euro-Atlantic community.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Emma Bonino, longtime Italian liberal leader and former European Commissioner. A fearless liberal and lifelong champion of freedom, human rights and a stronger Europe, she leaves an extraordinary legacy in Italy and across our continent. Our heartfelt condolences go to her family, friends and our colleagues in Italy.

Delighted to present my views on sustainability and security of Europe in the World Giverny Forum @CercledeGiverny in France. In the end all the discussion on Europe’s sovereignity is about our freedom, how can we keep our ability to choose.

🇺🇦 We help Ukraine become steel porcupine to defend its people & skies. Europe’s support remains concrete as Russia’s aggression intensifies ⬇️ 🇪🇺 @EU_Commission has approved €6.1B in new defence procurement for air & missile defence systems. 🔗 link.europa.eu/79CGjX

Siim Kallas RIP Very sad to learn Siim, a great Estonian and European, passed away. Great memories of our work in the European Commission, where he was vice president. My condolences to his family and to Estonia.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Siim Kallas, Estonian, Baltic and European leader, above all husband and father. My heartfelt condolences to his family, to @kajakallas and the Estonian people. news.err.ee/1610116666/forme…

Kurbusega sain teada endise peaministri ja @EU_Commission asepresidendi Siim Kallase lahkumisest. Mõtlen julgusele, mida nõudis riigi ülesehitamine ja oma valuuta käibelevõtt 1990. aastate alguses ning vaiksele veendumusele, mille ta aastaid hiljem Brüsselisse kaasa tõi. Eesti ja Euroopa on tema elutöö tõttu paremad. @kajakallas ja kogu pere: mul on teie kaotuse pärast südamest kahju. Soovin teile sel raskel ajal jõudu ja soojust.

Honored to be welcomed at the Massachusetts State House in Boston by Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, State Senator Michael Rodrigues, and State Representatives Tony Cabral and Tommy Vitolo. A valuable opportunity to reinforce the strong ties between Portugal and Massachusetts

Wonderful to see the Portuguese-American community come together in New Bedford for Atlantic Celebration Day, hosted by @FLAD_PT. A memorable day of friendship, shared values, culture, and connection between Portugal and the United States. 🇵🇹🇺🇸

A privilege to arrive in New Bedford aboard the Sagres and join Atlantic Celebration Day with the Portuguese-American community, marking 250 years of U.S. independence and the enduring ties between Portugal and the United States.
