Throughout, one message came back repeatedly: Europe must invest strategically in the Arctic - in the security, resilience and prosperity of both Europe and the people who call it home. With the same message, I am heading this week to my next stop: the Arctic Circle Assembly in https://t.co/bRaYpmHvbY #Arctic #Europe #Security #EU #NO #RU

The Arctic is changing fast. We are stepping up our engagement with the EU's new Arctic Strategy. And we do that together with our partners. Consultations with them on the main objectives of our upcoming Strategy were one of my main priorities over the past weeks. https://t.co/4XkKIPc8Tc #ArcticStrategy #ClimateChange #EUpartnership #EU

The conclusion is simple: the Arctic belongs at the core of the EU's security and economic policy. Investing there means investing in the security and prosperity of the EU as a whole. https://t.co/A3x7blZ97T #ArcticPolicy #EUSecurity #EconomicInvestment #EU

Thank you @PetteriOrpo for bringing Europe's leaders to the Arctic Circle to talk about the Arctic. 🇫🇮🇪🇺 Climate is warming the fastest here. New trade routes are opening. Competition for critical raw materials is intensifying. And Russia remains a permanent threat. https://t.co/kzMfpHEzCj #ArcticDialogue #ClimateChange #Geopolitics #FI #EU #RU

Summer Arctic sea ice seems more resilient than some thought in the past (BOE by 2030 gang). I have to admit I was one of those. #Arctic #SeaIce #ClimateChange #Nospecificcountrycodesarerelevanttothetweetprovided.

The Arctic is changing fast. What happens there - climate change, new trade routes, growing geopolitical interest, increasing attention to natural resources - affects Europe as a whole. That is why Europe is stepping up. https://t.co/qWFdL4UlHV #Arctic #ClimateChange #Geopolitics #EU

We are working on the update of the EU Arctic Strategy to prepare us for that. A stronger European presence, built on partnership, so people in the region decide their own future, and Europe and its Arctic partners turn opportunity into shared prosperity.

What happens in the Arctic affects Europe directly. This morning I opened the EU Arctic Forum in Brussels with Commissioner Costas Kadis. The Arctic is warming fast. With melting ice come new shipping routes and new raw materials opportunities, but also more competition. https://t.co/sRzDmCkY7a #Arctic #ClimateChange #EUEnergy #EU #BR

I met Prime Minister Nielsen and his government, young entrepreneurs and the Inuit Circumpolar Council, and the message was consistent: Greenland wants a stronger, more strategic European presence in the Arctic. That is what we are going to build. https://t.co/8WoPSrPPNi #Greenland #ArcticPolicy #EuropeanPresence #GL

Tomorrow I co-open the EU Arctic Forum in Brussels, and a mission to Greenland follows, where I will accompany President von der Leyen. I went to Nuuk earlier this year for strategic consultations, on our partnership and on the EU’s Arctic Strategy. https://t.co/NerZzzWkOc #ArcticStrategy #EUArcticForum #Greenland #EU #GL #BE

The Arctic is becoming one of the most strategically important regions in the world, and Greenland sits at the centre of it: shipping routes, critical raw materials and geopolitical interests that reach beyond the region. A large part of my work has been focused on this region. https://t.co/OkB8jMbLXG #Arctic #Greenland #Geopolitics #GL

Jihokorejská loď společnosti PanStar vyplula v sobotu přes Arktidu do Evropy, aby otestovala alternativu k námořním trasám narušeným konfliktem na Blízkém východě. Severní mořská cesta je přibližně o sedm tisíc kilometrů kratší než trasa přes Suezský průplav a může zkrátit plavbu asi o deset dní. https://t.co/a91MuDNqWS #ArcticShipping #MaritimeTrade #PanStar

Very good meeting today with Norwegian 🇳🇴 PM @jonasgahrstore to discuss the main challenges and opportunities in the Arctic and how we can address them together. Climate change, new economic potential, governance. This is what my work on the update of our Arctic strategy focuses https://t.co/zZrkBNaJJd #ArcticStrategy #ClimateChange #Norway #NO

At today’s College meeting, I updated my colleagues on the outcomes of my Greenland mission and emphasized the strategic importance of the Arctic region for Europe’s stability, climate resilience, digital infrastructure and economic security. Our future Arctic Strategy has to https://t.co/qUQT0OLEch #ArcticStrategy #GreenlandMission #EuropeanSecurity #GL #EU

Ruské úřady zveřejnily video poškozeného tankeru Arctic Metagaz ve Středozemním moři, jehož poškození naznačuje útok ukrajinských bezposádkových plavidel, zatímco ekologické organizace varují před nebezpečným nákladem, který by mohl způsobit dlouhodobé znečištění oblasti. #ArcticMetagaz #mezinárodníterorismus #zlatanásledky

Out of 8 Arctic states, 5 are European and 3 are EU members. Many other member states have a strong interest in deepening their engagement with the region. The strategic importance of a stronger EU presence in the Arctic region is undeniable. Both for us and our Arctic partners. https://t.co/4W0dpCWdPv #Arctic #EU #Geopolitics #EU #NO #SE #FI #DK #IS #CA #RU #US

Climate change, geopolitical competition, and new economic pressures affect Arctic communities and indigenous peoples most directly. The central goal remains strengthening Europe’s partnership with the Arctic region. What happens in the Arctic affects us directly. https://t.co/9MOHdRrelg #Arctic #ClimateChange #IndigenousPeoples #EU #NO #RU #US #CA

We want a stronger and more strategic presence of the European Union in the Arctic. That was one of the main messages from my counterparts during my mission to Greenland. The EU Arctic Strategy I am preparing will match our presence in the region with its strategic importance. https://t.co/SaeHrQRDE1 #EUArcticStrategy #ArcticPresence #GreenlandMission #EU #GL

I also met with Kenneth Høegh, Denmark’s Arctic Ambassador, currently chairing the Arctic Council. We discussed the future of the region and key inputs into the Arctic Strategy. With the Arctic Council facing real challenges, his perspective on what responsible Arctic https://t.co/eBeeDLGL7l #ArcticCouncil #ArcticStrategy #Denmark #DK

The Arctic has become one of the world’s most strategic regions. Greenlanders feel this reality every day. Europe is matching this reality with action through investments and an updated EU Arctic Strategy. During my mission to Nuuk, I am going to focus on exactly that. https://t.co/UoNn1cCXNr #ArcticStrategy #Greenland #EUinvestments #GL #EU
