At the #DelphiEconomicForum: Europe doesn’t need more analysis, it needs fast execution. We need to invest, innovate, strengthen defence, implement Draghi’s report, partner globally, regulate less and better, and stop double standards.

.@vonderleyen: Türkiye is: - a core #NATO ally, - a key migration partner, - an energy corridor, - a major defence actor on Europe’s flank, - and a serious regional power. Europe doesn’t get stronger by applying double standards or simplifying reality.

The European Union sought to ease tensions with Turkey after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen named the country alongside Russia and China, creating the impression that the NATO partner was seen as a potential threat. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The world order is going through a complete transformation, and #European unity is not spontaneous. We must fight to protect it. If we don’t shape what comes next, others will, and this is the moment to scale, take risks and build, not regulate.

Hungarian election results are a victory for Europe, a victory for Ukraine, a defeat for the White House, and a bad day for Russia. @euronews

This is a historic moment for the future of #Hungary & a step toward greater European unity. Hungarians have shown that they are not intimidated by political interference. Our goal now is to make European sovereignty not just a slogan, but a reality. euronews.com/my-europe/2026…

The current world disorder is unsustainable. But precisely because the circumstances are so difficult, they should create an opportunity to resolve longstanding problems rather than compound them.

Ahead of #DelphiEconomicForum spoke with @Kathimerini_gr on geopolitics, Europe & Greece's role in the region. One thing is clear, a wait-and-see approach will not protect us. We need to find a way to secure our interests and economic stability.

Le droit est un instrument de pouvoir. Un instrument de contrainte sans recourir à la force. La force de l’argument plutôt que la force du poing. Dans ce moment géopolitique, l’arbitrage international offre un cadre de coopération qui protège un ordre fondé sur des règles.

Dans ce moment d’affaiblissement du droit international, caractérisé par les méfiances réciproques, l’arbitrage international est une valeur refuge & un mode éprouvé de résolution des différends qu’il faut préserver. C’est une valve de sécurité et un amortisseur de chocs #PAW2026

Speaking at #XIIIGlobalBakuForum: The world is more multipolar & more fragmented. The institutions we built after WWII were not designed for this moment. But in a world of competing powers, reliable partnerships between regions & middle powers can still be a stabilising force.
