Portugal is a staunch defender of multilateralism and one of Europe's strongest bridges to Latin America and Africa.
It was good to see my colleagues @PauloRangel_pt and @NunoMeloMDN in Lisbon.
We covered a lot of topics. From making our EU external action more effective and protecting freedom of navigation to supporting Ukraine and promoting de-escalation in the Middle East.
On all these issues Europe is strong when we are united.
On Friday, 6 November, HR/VP @kajakallas will participate in a @CBSSsecretariat Ministerial Meeting in Warsaw, Poland.

My next stop on my Tour des Capitales: The Hague 🇳🇱🇪🇺 The Netherlands was one of the founders of our Union, built on one idea: never again war in Europe.
Today, we have to defend that idea. With counterparts from the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence, and the security services, we talked about Russia's war against Ukraine, hybrid threats, the Middle East, China and transatlantic relations.
All different topics, but really one question: how do we keep Europe secure and work towards a just and lasting peace? Dank je wel, Den Haag!

Journalists must be able to report freely and safely. When they are attacked or killed, those responsible must be brought to justice.
Since 2015, the EU has supported nearly 13,000 journalists at risk worldwide through ProtectDefenders.EU.
On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, we call on all States to protect journalists and ensure accountability.
