He explicado en @Congreso_Es el #PlanÁfrica tras asistir ayer en #Viena al Foro África-UE. #Europa aporta el 40% de la inversión extranjera y es el primer socio comercial del continente africano con 240.000 millones€ en transacciones durante 2017.(1/3)
Pero debemos hacer más. #África muestra el mayor crecimiento demográfico del mundo. En 2050 uno de cada cuatro habitantes del planeta será africano y el 50% de los africanos tendrá menos de 25 años. (2/3)
La @EU_Commission va a establecer una nueva alianza con el continente africano para crear hasta diez millones de empleos en los próximos cinco años. Para ello invertirá 44.000 millones€ en África hasta 2020. De ellos 37.000 ya están adjudicados. (3/3)

Timely meeting of the Two-State Coalition for Israel & Palestine in Nicosia. Standing up for peace & justice takes courage, deserves respect & support. Their voices must be heard.
We are at a critical juncture, as the reactions to the @IntlCrimCourt's decision illustrate. 1/5
#ICC arrest warrants are judicial, not political & have nothing to do w/ antisemitism. Since its creation, the EU has always strongly supported the #ICC. Its decisions are legally binding: there is no pick & choose. Threats against it are unacceptable, incl. from US Senate. 2/5
The EU cannot pretend to defend multilateralism, IHL, rule of law & not implement #ICC or #ICJ decisions.
We cannot stay idle while the UN, its leaders & staffers are intimidated or attacked. @UNRWA & @UNOCHA are doing an indispensable work.
Accountability is key for peace. 3/5

I addressed the League of Arab State’s ministerial meeting today in Cairo.

The EU has given full support to the efforts of Egypt, Qatar and the US for a ceasefire in Gaza. But the deal still has not been signed.

Those who are waging the war have no interest in putting an end to it.

Intransigence is accompanied by total impunity.

Not only is there no pause in Gaza, but what looms on the horizon is the extension of the conflict to the West Bank.

The post-1945 multilateral order is losing ground: we see more confrontation & polarity, less cooperation & multilateralism.

To tackle the challenges facing us in the 21st century, we need a fair assessment & decisive action.

A pleasure to talk today at @UniofOxford🧵1/10
China has risen to super-power status. Middle powers - India, Brazil, South Africa, KSA - are emerging as important actors on the global stage. As Europe we wanted to built a ring of friends & we are surrounded by a ring of fire, from Sahel to Middle East, Caucasus, Ukraine. 2/10
We see an acceleration of global trends, from climate change to demography. Inequalities growing, democracies declining, freedoms at risk.
What do we need?
- A clear assessment of Europe's main existential threat: Russia.
- A strong focus on principles, cooperation, strength 3/10

On 7 October, the horror of the terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel - with the massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds - shocked the world and plunged the region into a humanitarian and political tragedy.

Six months later, where do we stand?
🧵1/7
I add my voice to that of UNSG @antonioguterres in expressing the EU’s total condemnation of a brutality that no cause can justify.
 
By this indiscriminate attack, Hamas has totally disqualified itself.

The Palestinian people cannot be represented by this criminal group. 2/7
The Israeli people have our deepest sympathy. Israel has the right to defend itself, in full respect of international humanitarian law.

The EU has constantly asked for the unconditional release of all hostages. 
 
In this tragedy, civilians are paying the highest price.

The Ukrainian army is one of the best in the world. They have proven to be.

Ukraine is resisting, fighting off the Russian aggression, which is trying to cruelly push the country into darkness and cold.

Humbled by the courageous soldiers and their will to defend their people. Image
The EU Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine is proof of our determination to support Ukraine: militarily, financially, economically & politically.

This Mission is unprecedented, pushing EU military cooperation to new levels. Over 20 Member States participate in it. Image
Today, #EUMAM has reached its full initial operational capability.   
1,100 soldiers are already being trained.
The Mission will generate training offers to address Ukrainian needs and we are going to provide resources: €16 million for lethal equipment for training purposes. Image

In 1975 our predecessors signed the Helsinki Final Act, agreeing on a core set of principles: renouncing the use of force, respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and protecting human rights and freedoms.

Today, Russia is violating all these @OSCE commitments.
Russia has brought war back to Europe. It is throwing Ukraine into cold & darkness, and beyond its brutal attack on Ukraine and it’s people continues its deeply destabilising role in Georgia’s breakaway regions and Transnistrian region of Moldova. We need to be united against it.
The @OSCE institutions and operations continue their efforts to bring stability in this grim environment. The EU will continue its steadfast support to the organisation.

We will provide €1.2 million for OSCE demining activities in Ukraine.

Thanks to @PLinOSCE for their work.
