We discussed the idea of Canada being the first Associate Member of the EU.
And what it would mean in practice.
A focus on the prosperity & security of our people.
Through closer policymaking, participation in EU programmes and inter-institutional work.
We're at the start of a journey ↓

Ce qui définit un pays aujourd'hui n'est pas sa place sur une carte.
Ce sont les valeurs qu’il défend.
Et l’avenir qu’il souhaite bâtir avec les autres.
C’est ce qui rend l’Europe et le Canada si proches.
A Montréal nous ouvrons un tout nouveau chapitre de notre histoire commune.
President @vonderleyen just delivered a speech on EU-Canada relations in Montreal.
She spoke of Canada becoming the first associate member of the EU: "association without accession" - a partnership closer to membership than anything done before.

I welcome the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court.
For victims of the world's gravest crimes, justice means a voice.
The @IntlCrimCourt must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation.
Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.

Important conversation on AI with @BillGates and digital CEOs.
We have to strike the right balance.
Between the huge potential AI holds for our industry, healthcare, innovation and so much more.
And its regulation, ensuring trustworthiness and our cyber security.
This is why Europe has the AI Act - for innovation under human control.
And we will continue our global engagement on better coordination and common standards.
To manage the rapid development of AI in the interest of humanity.

We deeply regret the ratification today by the Libyan Parliament of the so-called Libyan-Türkiye Memorandum of Understanding on the delimitation of maritime jurisdictions in the Mediterranean Sea.
We recall that the EU’s position on this matter was clearly stated by the European Council in 2019 and remains unchanged.
This agreement infringes upon the sovereign rights of third states, it does not comply with the Law of the Sea, and is null and void.
We reaffirm our solidarity with Greece and Cyprus.
We reiterate the EU's well known position against any outside interference in Libya.
The Arctic is one place where the tectonic plates of geopolitics are colliding.
The new European Arctic Strategy will strengthen Europe's economic security while bringing prosperity to Arctic communities.

Today, we adopt our new 🇪🇺 Arctic Strategy.
The Arctic is where the tectonic plates of geopolitics collide head-on.
It requires us to change our strategic posture.
