We welcome the agreement between Rwanda and the DRC supported by President Trump.

The EU is ready to support the peace process, President Kagame.

Because it will pave way for regional integration – and investment.

Starting right now.

The Lobito Corridor is one of the most ambitious Global Gateway projects.

A highway to growth and jobs. Proud to partner with Angola on this journey, dear João Lourenço.

Looking forward to our Summit with the African Union in Luanda.

Our initial goal was to mobilise €300 billion in 5 years.

We have already hit the target.

And I am confident we will surpass €400 billion by 2027.

With Global Gateway, the benefits are not only mutual – they’re also local.

We are in an era of competitive, transactional global politics.

For Europe, the way forward is through partnerships.

Based on shared interests and respect for sovereignty.

This is what unites us here today.

This is Global Gateway ↓

And when the time comes, we will be ready to help with recovery and reconstruction.

Today’s opportunity should be seized.

It’s the opportunity to forge a credible political path toward lasting peace and security. A path firmly anchored in the two-state solution.

Now, all parties must fully uphold the terms of the agreement. All hostages must be released safely. A permanent ceasefire must be established. The suffering must end.

The EU will continue to support the swift and safe delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Glad to kick-start the Global Gateway Forum by meeting PM Mitchell.

With Global Gateway, we’re cementing our partnership with Grenada & the Caribbean.

Turning challenges like sargassum and climate change into opportunities for innovation and growth.

Grenada is showing the way!

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

It’s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

Work has begun.

The immediate release of all hostages and a ceasefire are now within reach. This opportunity must not be lost.

We will never forget the horror of the Hamas attacks on 7 October and the pain they caused to innocent victims, their families and the entire people of Israel, two years ago.

We honour their memory by working tirelessly for peace.

Hamas’ stated readiness to release hostages and engage on the basis of the recent @POTUS proposal is encouraging.

This moment must be seized.

An immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages are within reach.
