Thank you, President Xi, for hosting us in Beijing.

Europe and China are global economic heavyweights.

My warmest congratulations to Nicușor Dan on his victory tonight!

The Romanian people have turned out massively to the polls.

They have chosen the promise of an open, prosperous Romania in a strong Europe.

Together, let’s deliver on that promise.

Looking forward to working with you.

Art Nouveau was the brainchild of Belgians like Victor Horta and Paul Hankar who broke with the classical themes weighing down late 19th century architecture. The movement fell out of fashion in the 1950s, brushed away by the brute efficiency of Brusselization.
