• European Democracy Shield
I reiterated the need for a strong, united and competitive Europe, ready to face today’s geopolitical challenges.
I also met with my counterparts from Moldova and Greece, and the EU Commissioner for Budget.

Welcoming my friend & colleague @andrii_sybiha to 🇱🇺.
Our focus is clear: sustaining & strengthening our support for 🇺🇦, while increasing pressure on Russia. Moscow continues to show its willingness to escalate, not to pursue peace. We must respond with unity & determination.

It was a pleasure to open the Luxembourg-Italy Innovation Forum today.
Both countries share a close friendship & strong economic ties: Italy is Luxembourg’s 5th largest trading partner.
Our partnership has always rested on shared values: openness, cooperation, and solidarity.
Delighted to see business leaders exchange ideas & explore new opportunities in artificial intelligence, digital transformation & cybersecurity.
Thank you to the Camera di Commercio Italo-Lussemburghese for organising this event, & to @ccluxembourg for hosting.

Always good to meet my old friend, Deputy Prime Minister @Xavier_Bettel
Both Finland and Luxemburg are strong supporters of Ukraine.
We discussed on how to support Ukraine for the coming winter. Ukraine needs our support politically, militarily and financially.

Oli mukava tavata ystäväni, Luxemburgin varapääministeri ja ulkoministeri @Xavier_Bettel
Keskustelimme muun muassa siitä, miten tuemme Ukrainaa varustautumaan tulevan talven varalle. Ukraina tarvitsee niin poliittista, sotilaallista kuin taloudellista tukeamme.
Suomi ja Luxemburg ovat molemmat Ukrainan vahvoja tukijoita.
