Views are my own. But I'm happy to share 😅
Though-provoking exchanges, at @uOttawa conference on the strengthening of the Euro-Atlantic pillar.

Merci aux organisateurs!

The 🇪🇺🇨🇦 cooperation remains a cornerstone of stability, resilience, & prosperity across the Atlantic at a time when our shared values are under pressure.

'Tis the season...
Everybody in #Canada is starting to build arms muscles, checking the tools and making sure everything is ready.
Because in a few weeks' time, there will be tons of leaves to rack and put in brown bags.

Our mascotte, for the #G7Summit, was a 2-hole European puncher (North American punchers are not compatible with our binders).
Les diplomates en poste sont souvent pourvus d'objets insolites durant les sommets bilatéraux ou multilatéraux!

Un mois de juin intense à venir pour les relations UE Canada: G7, OTAN et sommet bilatéral.

Standing side by side.
🇪🇺🇨🇦
Dear Mark Carney, the EU-Canada story is one of friendship, trust and standing side by side.

I look forward to writing its next chapter with deeper cooperation on trade, investment and defence.

See you in Canada for the G7 Summit and welcome you later in June in Brussels ↓

"Plus rien ne la surprend sur la nature humaine
C'est pourquoi elle voudrait, enfin si je le permets
Déjeuner en paix". 🎶

Boire son café en se disant que de toutes façons on ne peut rien faire.

Goût amer. Le café ? La coupable indifférence collective ? La conscience individuelle engourdie ?

🇪🇺 give negotiations a chance.
If negotiations are not satisfactory, our countermeasures will kick in.

Preparatory work on further countermeasures continues.

As I have said before, all options remain on the table.
