At the turn of the last century, Jean Monnet discovered Canada's pioneering spirit. He brought that spirit back to Europe. And went on to become one of the founding fathers of our Union. Today, that same spirit inspires us to explore a historic first: Canada becoming the EU’s first associate member ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nxnRBPbN…

Christine! Thank you for everything you have done for Europe and the euro. From the pandemic to Russia’s war of aggression, your steady hand has helped keep our economy stable and resilient. You have championed deeper financial integration at home. And on the world’s stage, you embody what every currency needs: trust and authority. That's how you strengthened Europe's economic sovereignty and reinforced the international role of the euro, which was so important to you. The world needs more leaders like you. And I hope many more women will follow in your footsteps. @Lagarde

🛬 Touchdown in Montréal 🇨🇦 Rarely have I looked forward to a Summit this much. An ocean separates Europe and Canada. Yet we have never felt closer. We have a new ambition: bringing Canada closer to us than ever before, as Associate Member of the EU. And we want to take our unique partnership even further. With an Alliance for the Future, we will stand together and respond to a world of growing rivalries. Montréal, we’re about to write a new chapter in our shared history.

Europe will always stand up for the protection of its borders. This is why today we propose to strengthen Frontex. So it can support Member States whenever and wherever needed. Including on returns, with the mandate and capabilities that this new reality demands. link.europa.eu/kyDnMR

Europe is warming at double the global rate. To become truly climate resilient, we need to adjust and learn along the way. Our European Climate Resilience Framework will help us anticipate, prepare for, and manage climate risks. By including climate resilience in policies across the Union, supporting investment, innovation and long-term growth. link.europa.eu/QfFKKh

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory. Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil. Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving. We will remain by your side for the years to come. Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade. A rules-based global order. And strong ambitions for our climate.

Present and future generations deserve to connect with Europe’s shared heritage, history and values. Today, we propose renewing and strengthening the European Heritage Label to give greater recognition to sites that tell Europe’s story and bring its shared heritage to life.
The upper section features a colorful geometric star logo made of colored pentagons (purple, orange, yellow, bright green, and dark green), above the text "EUROPEAN HERITAGE LABEL", the European Union flag, and the tagline "BEARING WITNESS TO OUR SHARED HISTORY, IDEALS AND VALUES". The lower half contains a mosaic of polygon-shaped photo tiles showcasing various European historical and cultural heritage sites, including ancient ruins, medieval castles, frescoes, sculptures, documents, and natural landscapes.
