Investing in strong health systems, in prevention, and in fragile countries is investing in our own stability. That was my message today to Members of the European Parliament. Building health resilience requires sustained funding and a strong EU budget. I appreciate Parliament’s https://t.co/oMudS43Cc5 #HealthInvestment #EUResilience #GlobalHealth #EU
(TR) Earlier, we used to hear from representatives of the Czech government that Global Gateway is insignificant. I believe that now they know very well how it really is. Especially since it is mainly thanks to it that the Czech Škoda has secured the "contract of the decade" in Uzbekistan.
(TR) When the EU flag first flew in front of the European Commission's headquarters in Brussels on May 29, 1986, we watched it from behind the Iron Curtain. Few dared to dream that one day we would be a solid part of a free, democratic Europe. I am really proud that today this blue and gold flag
At today’s College meeting, I updated my colleagues on the outcomes of my Greenland mission and emphasized the strategic importance of the Arctic region for Europe’s stability, climate resilience, digital infrastructure and economic security. Our future Arctic Strategy has to https://t.co/qUQT0OLEch #ArcticStrategy #GreenlandMission #EuropeanSecurity #GL #EU
Out of 8 Arctic states, 5 are European and 3 are EU members. Many other member states have a strong interest in deepening their engagement with the region. The strategic importance of a stronger EU presence in the Arctic region is undeniable. Both for us and our Arctic partners. https://t.co/4W0dpCWdPv #Arctic #EU #Geopolitics #EU #NO #SE #FI #DK #IS #CA #RU #US
Climate change, geopolitical competition, and new economic pressures affect Arctic communities and indigenous peoples most directly. The central goal remains strengthening Europe’s partnership with the Arctic region. What happens in the Arctic affects us directly. https://t.co/9MOHdRrelg #Arctic #ClimateChange #IndigenousPeoples #EU #NO #RU #US #CA
We want a stronger and more strategic presence of the European Union in the Arctic. That was one of the main messages from my counterparts during my mission to Greenland. The EU Arctic Strategy I am preparing will match our presence in the region with its strategic importance. https://t.co/SaeHrQRDE1 #EUArcticStrategy #ArcticPresence #GreenlandMission #EU #GL
Global Gateway is our strategy to invest in exactly that. Our goal is to make sure that our external action makes Europe stronger, safer, and more competitive. In practice, that means projects that secure supply chains of critical raw materials, address the root causes of https://t.co/qMmSqdaN5r #GlobalGateway #EUstrategy #SupplyChains #EU
We are backing this with concrete investments. We have proposed to double the financial envelope for Greenland. And we are preparing a dedicated investment package. Together we focus on clean energy, digital connectivity and critical raw materials. All based on the highest https://t.co/PYvWCEaMe1 #Greenland #CleanEnergy #DigitalConnectivity #GL
Arctica va deveni... o parte foarte importantă a Pământului. Aceasta nu este doar o chestiune politică. Este și o chestiune economică. Arctica nu mai este o zonă periferică. Devine esențială pentru stabilitatea economică și geopolitică globală. Și Europa trebuie să se adapteze în consecință. Dacă nu reacționăm acum, costurile viitorului vor deveni mult mai mari.
Greenland is home to 25 of the 34 critical raw materials that are strategic for Europe’s modern industry. I visited the National Core Depot to discuss the main opportunities in this area, but also the challenges to turning Greenland’s potential into concrete benefits. https://t.co/vTywtwDJaW #Greenland #RawMaterials #SustainableIndustry #GL #EU
I also met with Kenneth Høegh, Denmark’s Arctic Ambassador, currently chairing the Arctic Council. We discussed the future of the region and key inputs into the Arctic Strategy.

Jozef Síkela: W świecie, w którym inwestycje, infrastruktura i łańcuchy dostaw stały się instrumentem władzy, polityka zagraniczna nie może być sentymentalna.
The Commission has proposed to nearly double our financial envelope for Greenland in the next budget.

The Arctic has become one of the world’s most strategic regions. Greenlanders feel this reality every day. Europe is matching this reality with action through investments and an updated EU Arctic Strategy. During my mission to Nuuk, I am going to focus on exactly that. https://t.co/UoNn1cCXNr #ArcticStrategy #Greenland #EUinvestments #GL #EU

The Arctic is among the fastest changing regions on Earth. New opportunities are emerging together with many challenges. We must position ourselves strategically and strengthen our partnerships across the Arctic. That is what my mission to Greenland next week will be about. https://t.co/cMRWzvJcqm #ArcticChange #Sustainability #Partnerships #GL
Strengthen the global health cooperation. Surveillance, laboratories, coordinated response before a crisis, not during it. Secure supply chains. No country should depend on a handful of suppliers for essential medicines. Local manufacturing matters. Fight health misinformation. https://t.co/zD1UII7Vnt #GlobalHealth #HealthCooperation #StopHealthMisinformation #Nocountrycodes.
Make the global health architecture more effective. Too many institutions, too many overlapping mandates. We need coordination. Strengthen national health systems. The first line of defence is always local. Countries need the capacity to respond on their own. https://t.co/9c1nsYVZFE #GlobalHealth #HealthSystems #Coordination #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
There is nothing more valuable than health. But in today’s world, health is no longer just a matter for doctors. It is a matter of geopolitics. The Global Health Resilience Initiative is Europe’s answer. https://t.co/SorwCGiZDu #HealthMatters #GlobalHealth #Geopolitics #EU
The Global Health Resilience Initiative is Europe’s plan for stronger global health. This is why it matters. 🔵 Health threats do not respect borders. 🔵 Preparedness pays off. 🔵 Dependency is dangerous. https://t.co/LpusrrqLAF #GlobalHealth #HealthResilience #Preparedness #EU
Team Europe is already a major global health investor, €6 billion mobilized in the current budget cycle.

Today, we adopted the Global Health Resilience Initiative, Europe's plan for stronger global health. There is nothing more valuable than health.

Čtyřicet let po havárii v Černobylu Rusko svými útoky podkopává úsilí mezinárodního společenství napravit dopady této katastrofy.

One million EU citizens live in territories scattered across the Caribbean, Pacific and Arctic. They are part of the European family and in Aruba, we showed what that actually means. At the EU–OCT Forum, we signed 5 new Global Gateway investments in areas that matter the most. https://t.co/YbMLKjdRIg
These investments cover disaster risk management in the Caribbean, biodiversity protection from New Caledonia to the Indian Ocean, invasive species management, and culture and creative industries across all 13 territories. https://t.co/t2ngqUgXYM

Dnes jsem v Mnichově potkal skutečné hrdiny. Sportovce, který obětoval roky tréninku a olympijský závod, aby vzdal hold padlým sportovcům své vlasti, a mladou dámu, která mohla dělat třeba modelku nebo chodit na večírky, ale místo toho se rozhodla bránit svou zemi před ruskými agresory. A je v tom velmi dobrá. Jako operátorka dronů už zničila 250 nepřátelských cílů. -
