An educated and empowered youth is key to sustainable development. 🌱 With the EU #YouthActionPlan, we engage, empower & connect young people around the world to drive positive change. 🌍 Have a great #YouthDay! #YouthLeadsTheWay

Happy #YouthDay! 🎉 To be impactful, 🇪🇺 external action has to be relevant to young people. 👉 Already 30+ of our Delegations around 🌍 have established #YouthSoundingBoard! In October, Sounding Board members will meet in Brussels at #GlobalGateway Youth Event. Stay tuned!

I have written to 🇪🇺 Health Ministers regarding plans to donate #mpox vaccines & therapeutics. ➡️🌍 solidarity is key to facing global health threats. We count on Member States to support our African partners in managing the outbreak. European Commission stands ready to coordinate.

Saavuin tänään Tongalle Tyynenmeren saarivaltioiden huippukokoukseen. Suomessakin on uutisoitu tänne osuneesta maanjäristyksestä, mutta onneksi seuraukset jäivät vähäiseksi. Kokous ja tapaamiset Tyynenmeren johtajien kanssa jatkuvat täällä normaalisti.

In 🇹🇴 Tonga today, Commissioner Jutta Urpilainen celebrates a new chapter in the #EUPacific relationship, the Pacific Protocol of the Samoa Agreement, emphasising our 🇪🇺 commitment to: ✨ advance the Sustainable Development Goals 🌍 tackle global challenges via #GlobalGateway.

Good exchange with Samoan PM Fiamè Naomi Mata’afa on our partnership and cooperation in the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH) sector. I was happy to announce the EU’s budget support payment of 3,1M€ for Samoa’s “Water Resilience and Climate Change Adaptation” programme.

Always a pleasure to meet UN Secretary General António Guterres. We had a good exchange on the upcoming Summit of Future.

In the meeting with young people and civil society from Tonga we discussed gender equality, education and future prospects of young generation in Pacific Islands. I’m glad that the EU Youth Sounding Board for the Pacific will be established in the near future.

Today in Tonga I visited an EU funded project that aims to provide a healthy living environment for everyone. It offers accessible sanitation and hygiene facilities to most vulnerable households. There’s still work to do to ensure people have basic needs everywhere in the world.

It was nice to meet with my fellow presidential candidates. We had good discussions on foreign and security policy. Oli mukava nähdä kanssaehdokkaita. Hyvä keskustelu ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikasta. Vanhojakin muisteltiin.
