Today we celebrate Portugal, its culture, its long and rich history, and its strong commitment to the European project.
Feliz Dia de Portugal! 🇵🇹

To strengthen the EU’s social cohesion, democracy, and competitiveness, we are responding to this multi-level housing crisis at the local, regional, national and European levels.
A stronger EU means a stronger NATO. And a stronger NATO remains indispensable for the security of Europe. That’s why we must continue working hand in hand to address our common threats and challenges.
Shelter is one of our most basic human needs, and housing is a fundamental human right.
Right now, it is a problem shared across our continent.
Congratulations Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming the longest serving Prime Minister of India.
Under your visionary leadership, relations between the EU and India are stronger than ever, as evidenced by our historic summit earlier this year.
I’m looking forward to deepening our important partnership even further and working together on the reform of the multilateral system.
A pleasure to welcome President Williams Ruto to Brussels today.
Kenya is one of the EU’s key partners in Africa, and a longstanding partner on peace and security, climate action, trade and investment, as well as a strong international voice for multilateral cooperation.
I look forward to our continued cooperation, partnership and friendship.

Today I met with #NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and the NATO Permanent Representatives, ahead of the upcoming NATO Summit in Ankara.
European Defence is a priority for the European Union and leaders will be taking stock of progress made at next week’s #EUCO.
