Peace comes from the hearts and actions of people. That is why the role of civil society is so important.
Every day, organisations on the ground provide food, healthcare and education. They strengthen communities, build trust, keep dialogue and hope alive under the most difficult circumstances.
It was a privilege to listen to their ideas and solutions and I was encouraged by the shared commitment to peace, reform and recovery.
The EU stands firmly by their side.

Europe’s past, present and future is about people.
Across generations, Europe is changing: people are ageing, moving, and our population is evolving.
Policies must keep pace.
Demographers and research networks like @PopulationEU and @EU_JRC help turn data into better long-term policies.
An official European Demography Day would create a regular moment to raise awareness of shared demographic challenges across Europe, supporting support better coordination and evidence-based policymaking at EU level.

The path to peace must be built on dialogue, justice, and respect for international law.
President Trump’s plan must translate into meaningful negotiations that bring us closer to that path.
The goal remains unchanged: Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in peace and security. I sincerely hope this can be quickly achieved.
The EU stands ready to mobilise support for Gaza’s reconstruction from the very first day of a ceasefire.

I came to Syria to deliver a clear message: one of hope and determination.
I am inspired by the resilience of Syrian people.
Protecting and empowering them is vital.
Much has been accomplished, but the road ahead remains demanding.
Together with the transition government and international partners, we will support Syria’s recovery.
Step by step.
Let us work together to build the peaceful and prosperous Syria its people deserve.

Today I join the thousands in Rome and millions worldwide mourning Pope Francis, a beacon of compassion, peace, dignity, hope.
I will treasure the moments with him.
His courageous call to foster dialogue and face demographic challenges will echo for years. May he rest in peace.

📢 The fall of Assad’s regime marks a historic moment for the Syrian people, who have shown extraordinary resilience in their pursuit of freedom, dignity, and justice.
🇪🇺 The EU stands with Syrians as they work towards a peaceful, inclusive, and democratic future.

The end of Assad’s dictatorship is a positive and long-awaited development. It also shows the weakness of Assad’s backers, Russia and Iran.
Our priority is to ensure security in the region. I will work with all the constructive partners, in Syria and in the region.

For two years now, the heroic Ukrainian people have been relentlessly defending their country from the aggressor.
Tonight, our headquarters adorns the colours of the Ukrainian flag in honour of those who defend it.
Liberating cities and territories. Resisting bravely. Defying all odds.
ALT The Ukranian flag projected on the European Commission headquarters Berlaymont, two years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
