Today, we will adopt nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex.
This will be the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war.
We also welcome the energy ceasefire, when it holds.
But we haven't seen yet if Russia will stick to it.

🇧🇪🇷🇼 (EN/FR/NL) Pleased to announce today the resumption of diplomatic relations between Belgium and Rwanda.
In a world marked by growing tensions, this is an important signal here in New York, the UN's host city, which embodies multilateralism and dialogue beyond our differences.
This is the culmination of a process of frank discussions with my counterpart and the result of a shared, respectful effort. I am convinced that we can set a positive agenda, mutually beneficial to our citizens, and grounded in the richness of our interpersonal relations.
We agreed on the importance of systematic dialogue, including on the points of disagreement that remain, such as the conflict in eastern DRC. Restoring diplomatic relations between states does not mean abandoning our position, but having structured channels for dialogue, and I will continue to defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the DRC.
We want to put our expertise in the region to work in support of mediation efforts as best we can, and we will continue to urge strict respect for the commitments made by all parties within the Doha and Washington processes.

Ravi d’annoncer ce jour la reprise des relations diplomatiques entre la Belgique et le Rwanda. Dans un monde marqué par des tensions grandissantes, c’est un signal important ici à New-York, ville siège de l’ONU qui symbolise par excellence le multilatéralisme et le dialogue au-delà des différences.
C’est l’aboutissement d’un processus de franches discussions mené avec mon homologue et le fruit d’un effort respectueux commun. Je suis convaincu que nous pouvons définir un agenda positif, mutuellement bénéfique pour nos ressortissants, et fondé sur la richesse de nos relations interpersonnelles.
Nous avons convenu de l’importance de dialoguer systématiquement y compris sur nos points de divergences qui persistent, comme sur le conflit dans l’Est de la RDC. Rétablir des relations diplomatiques entre États ne signifie pas renier nos positions mais disposer de canaux structurés de dialogue, et je continuerai à défendre l’intégrité territoriale et la souveraineté de la RDC.
Nous voulons utiliser notre expertise dans la région pour soutenir au mieux les efforts de méditation et nous continuerons d’exhorter au respect strict des engagements pris par toutes les parties dans le cadre des processus de Doha et de Washington.

Verheugd om vandaag de hervatting van de diplomatieke betrekkingen tussen België en Rwanda aan te kondigen.
In een wereld gekenmerkt door toenemende spanningen is dit een belangrijk signaal, hier in New York, de zetelstad van de VN die bij uitstek het multilateralisme en de dialoog voorbij verschillen symboliseert.
Dit is het resultaat van een proces van openhartige gesprekken met mijn ambtgenoot en de vrucht van een gezamenlijke, respectvolle inspanning. Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat we een positieve agenda kunnen uitstippelen, wederzijds voordelig voor onze burgers, en gestoeld op de rijkdom van onze interpersoonlijke relaties.
We zijn overeengekomen systematisch met elkaar in dialoog te blijven, ook over de blijvende meningsverschillen, zoals over het conflict in Oost-Congo. Het herstel van diplomatieke betrekkingen tussen staten betekent niet dat we onze standpunten opgeven, maar wel dat we over gestructureerde dialoogkanalen beschikken, en ik zal de territoriale integriteit en soevereiniteit van de DRC blijven verdedigen.
We willen onze expertise in de regio naar best vermogen inzetten ter ondersteuning van de bemiddelingsinspanningen, en we zullen blijven aandringen op de strikte naleving van de door alle partijen aangegane verbintenissen in het kader van de Doha- en Washington-processen.

Excellent meeting with UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, together with @vonderleyen and HRVP @kajakallas, ahead of UNGA81.
The EU will always remain a supporter of multilateralism and of a rules-based international order with a reformed @UN at its heart.
We thanked Secretary-General Guterres for our close cooperation throughout his term, from Ukraine to the Middle East, and on climate.
As well as for driving the UN80 reforms forward.
The goal is clear: a UN fit for today’s world. More effective. More responsive. That turns global cooperation into solutions on the ground.

Africa’s global leadership is growing. And Europe stands firmly behind it.
We championed the @_AfricanUnion’s permanent membership of the G20 and support a stronger African voice on the global stage.
The EU is Africa’s leading trade and investment partner.
Through Global Gateway, we are mobilising €150 billion for projects that create local value, local jobs and opportunities for Africa’s greatest strength: its young people.
Together with the AU and the UN, we are also advancing African-led solutions for peace and security, sustainable development and food security.
Now we are ready to take this partnership further.
Congratulations to Rwanda’s Florence Niyonkuru on winning bronze in the women’s half marathon at the 2026 World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen.

On African Union Day, the EU celebrates with our African partners.

Statement of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, on the Occasion of African Union Day.
On the occasion of African Union Day, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, @ymahmoudali extends his warm greetings to the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora and calls for a renewed commitment to the ideals of Pan-Africanism, unity and solidarity.
The 9th of September commemorates the historic Sirte Declaration of 1999, when African leaders took the decisive step towards creating the African Union as an instrument for accelerating continental integration and strengthening Africa’s voice in the world.
This year, African Union Day comes at a particularly significant moment for the continent. Just days ago, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed an African-led initiative supporting the use of a world map that more accurately reflects the true size of Africa. The initiative, championed by the Republic of Togo with the support of the African Union, represents more than a cartographic adjustment. It is a reminder that how Africa is seen matters, and that Africa must increasingly shape the narratives through which it is seen.
“A map may change how the world sees Africa, but Africa’s destiny will ultimately be shaped by how Africans see themselves. The time has come to see Africa in its true size, its true strength and its true potential,” said the AUC Chairperson.
The AUC Chairperson noted that the momentum behind correcting the map forms part of a broader continental journey towards greater African agency; from strengthening continental economic integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), to advancing peace and security, sustainable development and Africa’s representation in global decision-making. The AU’s Agenda 2063 remains the continent’s overarching blueprint for building an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa.
He further recalled that the African Union’s priorities are increasingly centred on strengthening peace and security, accelerating economic integration and reinforcing Africa’s global voice.
“Africa is not seeking a larger place in the world; Africa is reclaiming its rightful place in the world. Our task is to translate this renewed confidence into unity, prosperity, peace and influence,” he added.
The AUC Chairperson also underscored that Africa’s progress must be measured not only by how the continent is represented externally, but by the quality of life of its people. In this regard, the African Union’s 2026 focus on sustainable water availability and safe sanitation reflects the Union’s determination to connect continental aspirations with the everyday realities of African citizens.
On African Union Day, the AUC Chairperson called upon Member States, Regional Economic Communities, African institutions, the private sector, civil society, women and young people to continue building an Africa that is increasingly integrated, self-confident and capable of shaping its own destiny.
H.E. Mr. Yossouf reaffirmed the commitment of the African Union Commission to advancing the vision of “The Africa We Want” and to ensuring that the spirit of the Sirte Declaration continues to inspire the continent’s next generation.
“The Africa of tomorrow must not only be better represented on the map; it must be stronger in the world, more united at home and more prosperous for its people.”
The AUC Chairperson wished all citizens of African and the African Diaspora a peaceful and inspiring African Union Day.
