Glad to celebrate 25 years of “Everything But Arms” with Commerce Minister Hon. Shah and Nepal’s entrepreneurial export community, who have made good use of the EU’s most open and reliable trade scheme. Duty-free and quota-free access will continue under EBA until 2032.

The EU welcomes the decision on Nepal’s LDC graduation, in line with CDP recommendations. We remain committed to supporting Nepal, the UN and partners for a fair, credible and sustainable transition.
Today, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 81/L.8 by consensus, extending the preparatory period for the graduation of Nepal and Bangladesh from the Least Developed Countries (LDC) category until 24 November 2029.
We express our sincere gratitude to all UN Member States for their continued support and solidarity.
This extension provides Nepal with additional time to pursue essential structural and institutional reforms, enhance productive capacities, and effectively implement its Smooth Transition Strategy (STS), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Doha Programme of Action. These efforts will help ensure a smooth, sustainable, and irreversible graduation from the LDC category within the extended timeframe.

The new Ambassador of the European Union to Nepal, Charles Whiteley, presented his credentials to the Right Honourable President of Nepal. The ceremony formally marks the start of his mandate as EU Ambassador to Nepal. 🇪🇺🇳🇵

A beautiful credentials ceremony - kind words from Rt. Hon. President Paudel about the positive trajectory of EU-Nepal relations.

No one wants peace more than Ukraine. The EU stands united and unwavering in its support for Ukraine and for all efforts to bring Russia’s war of aggression to an end.
Yet Russia continues to escalate, intensifying its reckless attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and its hybrid attacks targeting EU Member States.
This will not go unanswered. Today, EU Member States adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex - the largest single expansion of our sanctions list since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s actions will not weaken our resolve. We will continue to step up the pressure until Russia comes to the negotiating table and demonstrates a genuine commitment to ending the war.
EU in Nepal retweeted
Every missile fired at a Ukrainian city starts on a Russian production line.
On 12 October, the EU sanctioned 826 companies in Russia’s military supply chain and 743 of their CEOs: the largest set of listings the EU has ever agreed.
The largest set of listings the EU has ever approved.

Excellent meeting with UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, together with @vonderleyen and HRVP @kajakallas, ahead of UNGA81.
The EU will always remain a supporter of multilateralism and of a rules-based international order with a reformed @UN at its heart.
We thanked Secretary-General Guterres for our close cooperation throughout his term, from Ukraine to the Middle East, and on climate.
As well as for driving the UN80 reforms forward.
The goal is clear: a UN fit for today’s world. More effective. More responsive. That turns global cooperation into solutions on the ground.
