HR/VP @kajakallas met with Costa Rican FM @Manuel_Tovar_R in Brussels, offering congratulations to him and President Fernández @Laurapresi2026 on their new roles.

That FM Tovar chose Europe as his first trip abroad speaks for itself: shared views on multilateral issues, investment potential, and common security challenges are laying the groundwork for closer ties.

RT @MartaKosEU: Prime Minister Magyar’s announcement of the agreement between Hungary and Ukraine to advance minority rights, opens the way for progress on the EU accession path of Ukraine.

This will allow Member States to take forward the work on opening the first negotiation cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.

Ukraine and Moldova are already now delivering on rule of law requirements set by Member States.

It is now time to accelerate on their road to EU membership. This is the best way to ensure minority rights are respected.

Corruption thrives in the gaps.

From today, new EU rules close them by:
🔹 aligning offences,
🔹 strengthening penalties,
🔹 boosting cross-border enforcement.

Because corruption undermines public trust, fair competition and a thriving democracy.

RT @AmbCaiRun: #China's #robotics companies are experiencing a notable listing boom. Data show that among the companies currently waiting to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, 46 are robotics-related firms, accounting for more than 10 percent of all applicants.

With support from capital markets and the discipline of standardized regulation, China's rapidly growing robotics industry is well positioned to create the next major growth engine for the development of new quality productive forces.
