Thank you for celebrating #EuropeDay with us in #Canberra !

🇪🇺 Ambassador welcomed hundreds of guests & together with the EU HoMs marked the anniversary of the 2004 Enlargement.

Reflecting on December's Maria Callas Tour across Australia, we cherished 🇪🇺-🇦🇺cultural relations.

On #EuropeDay , we mark Schuman's vision that laid the foundation of our Union. With wars raging around us, from Ukraine to Gaza, the message that former enemies can make peace and build a better future is more relevant than ever.
As EU we continue working for peace. Everywhere.

29 days before the European Elections, the Museum of Australian Democracy 🇦🇺 in #Canberra lights up in blue and yellow to commemorate #EuropeDay2024 🇪🇺
