Amid these crises, our duty of care for staff deployed worldwide remains paramount, especially as they operate in increasingly complex and demanding environments.

More than ever, the EU must remain an effective and efficient global actor, the EEAS an agile Service, including through the modernisation of our delegation network.

Timely and highly constructive exchange with the EEAS Staff Committee today. We discussed the key political challenges following yesterday’s EUCO, including the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine and their impact on Europe’s economy.

I welcomed Moldova’s Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Valeriu Chiveri, on his first visit to Brussels. We had a constructive exchange on developments around Moldova’s Transnistrian region. The EU firmly supports the government's efforts towards Moldova's reintegration.

With unwavering support for Ukraine, urgent efforts to avoid further escalation in the Middle East, and renewed momentum for enlargement, Europe’s unity and diplomacy remain our strongest strategic assets.

Moderating today’s exchange with @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu António Costa at the EU Ambassadors Conference 2026, three clear messages stood out: defend the rules-based international order, reinforce multilateral cooperation, and expand the EU’s global partnerships.

As the HR/VP noted: in a world of rising power politics and eroding international law, Europe must deliver on its priorities and rally partners worldwide. Our Ambassadors are key to that effort.

A turning point for Europe — and for EU diplomacy.

Opening the EU Ambassadors’ Conference “Advancing EU Interests at a Turning Point” with HR/VP @kajakallas.bsky.social, COM President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and EP President @president.europarl.europa.eu.

The EU will engage actively at the International Migration Review Forum (NY, 4–8 May 2026) — migration needs global solutions.

Productive exchange with IOM DG Amy Pope at the EU–IOM Senior Officials’ Meeting. We reaffirmed strong EU–IOM cooperation on comprehensive migration responses and partnership with countries of origin and transit.

In solidarity with the Ukrainian people, we raise the Ukrainian flag alongside the EU flag at our @eudiplomacy.bsky.social HQ.

This is more than a symbol.
Ukraine’s future lies within the EU.
With our support, Ukrainians are resisting and holding firm. (1/2)

Thanks #CER for an exciting discussion last Friday and grateful for EU Delegation in London for the great work on EU-UK relations!

Productive discussions in London last Friday with Olly Robbins on strengthening EU-UK cooperation to address today’s global challenges. Appreciated the engagement with the EU Delegation staff. Looking forward to further exchanges in Brussels and London.

I express my appreciation to Philippe Lazzarini for leading UNRWA. The EU will continue to support the agency's work providing essential services to millions of Palestinians. No conflict can be solved without respect to international law & the UN Charter.

"You are either at the table or on the menu" - a lot to discuss thanks to the Alumni Association of the @collegeofeurope.bsky.social
And also a nice welcome for Yaprak Balkan, the first female Ambassador of Türkiye to the EU

Great to speak at yesterday’s Inaugural Session of the EuroLat Committee Meetings at @europarl.europa.eu bringing together 75 members of the EP and 75 from Latin American Parliaments.

We keep on building a strong and committed partnership based on shared values.

Great to speak at this week’s @eudiplomacy.bsky.social workshop with EU MFAs on mediation in diplomatic services and workplace conflict resolution.

Building a resilient, respectful and inclusive work culture remains at the heart of my actions.

At the heart of it: our staff. I valued the productive and cordial discussion with the EEAS Staff Committee on communication, staff wellbeing, good management, and leadership development.

In the changing geopolitical landscape, ongoing reform, modernisation and simplification are key for making the EEAS as efficient, pro-active, and present as possible to advance EU values and interests globally.

At the opening of the EEAS seminar for Assistants to EU Ambassadors, we mark the start of a week focused on colleagues whose commitment drives EU diplomacy every day.

With thematic briefings and joint discussions ahead, this is a moment to to support and spotlight their vital role.

Thank you for your visit, dear Minister Hind Kabawat.

No peace and stability in #Syria without an inclusive transition. The #EU remains fully committed to support the Syrian people. 🇸🇾🇪🇺

Today I had the honor of discussing Europe’s role in global diplomacy and how we can strengthen our external action to promote peace, security, and resilience at New Economy Forum, Foro de la Nueva Defensa y el Espacio. Thank you for a stimulating discussion!

Working towards peace and supporting the resolution of long-standing conflicts on the African continent - there is a lot we can do together!

Thank you for the great meeting, dear Presidential Senior Advisor Massad Boulos.

Honoured to host President-elect of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya for our #UNGA80 side event. Her courageous leadership of Belarus' democratic forces is inspiring.

The EU stands firm: Belarus must release political prisoners & accountability must be central to the international response.

Honoured to deliver the keynote on Geopolitical Realities and the role of @eudiplomacy.bsky.social in EU External Action at the @eib.org's Global External Action Representation.

Bem-vidu dear Foreign Minister Bendito dos Santos Freitas! Thank you for underscoring the strong shared commitment between the EU 🇪🇺 and Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 to democracy and rules-based multilateralism. It is great news that your country is expected to join ASEAN later this year.

The @gavi.org Global Summit reaffirmed the EU & partners’ commitment to health security and multilateral action. Immunisation remains one of the smartest investments for a healthier, safer world.
