Mijn waardering voor @MDiependaele en de voltallige Vlaamse Regering om te doen wat nodig is: de rekeningen op orde zetten. Moge het alle beleidsniveaus in het land inspireren tot de budgettaire ernst die we dringend nodig hebben.

Il n’y a rien de plus ignoble et abjecte que de profaner une tombe. Mon soutien à la famille du ministre d’État Jean Gol.

Ich danke dem belgischen Premierminister für sein starkes Zeichen der Solidarität, das er mit dem Besuch bei Lahav Shani und den Münchner Philharmonikern in Essen gesetzt hat. Lieber @Bart_DeWever, wir dürfen diesem blanken Antisemitismus keinen Platz geben.

Just attended a wonderful performance in Essen by the Münchner Philharmoniker conducted by Lahav Shani. Immediately after the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas, I expressed my fear that the Israeli government would allow itself to be drawn into an endless violent conflict in

I have understandably received many questions from abroad regarding the recent decision of the Flanders Festival Ghent to ban the Munich Philharmonic on the basis of the conductor’s nationality. This decision has rightfully provoked great consternation and has been characterized

Political violence is an attack on democracy and freedom of speech everywhere. It can never be accepted.

Communists steal from the wealthy while ignoring the needs of the underprivileged. They lied to people when they said they would help the poor.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the tragic accident in Lisbon and their loved ones. Belgium extends its deepest condolences and stands in solidarity with Portugal in these difficult times.

@forumalpbach At the European Forum Alpbach, I underlined that Europe is at a turning point. Recent global developments have shown how important it is for Europe to strengthen its ability to act – not only in the field of the economy, but also in migration and defence. That means:

Today, I had the honour of addressing the closing session of the @forumalpbach. Europe faces one of its greatest shared challenges: migration. We must repair the front door of our European home by regaining control of our external borders and stopping illegal migration. At the

Today I met with @bundeskanzler @_FriedrichMerz at the Chancellery in Berlin. Our discussions confirmed the close partnership between Belgium and Germany — as neighbours, partners in the EU, and allies in NATO. Key topics we addressed: • Migration & internal market: Belgium

Au cours des dernières semaines, grâce à notre armée, 190 tonnes de nourriture, d’eau et de médicaments ont été larguées dans la bande de Gaza. De tous les pays au monde, seuls les Emirats arabes unis ont fourni plus d’aide humanitaire. Je remercie chaleureusement tous les

De afgelopen weken is dankzij ons leger 190 ton aan voeding, water en medicijnen gedropt in de Gazastrook. Van alle landen ter wereld leverde enkel de VAE meer humanitaire hulp. Mijn grote dank aan de manschappen van de 15de Wing voor hun toewijding en vakmanschap.

The EU welcomes President Trump’s efforts to put an end to Russia’s war of aggression and to achieve a just & lasting peace and security for Ukraine. We stand with the Ukrainian people, united for a diplomatic solution that protects Ukraine's & Europe's vital security interests.

Le rétablissement des largages aériens et des convois humanitaires de l'ONU par voie terrestre va permettre à la Belgique de contribuer concrètement à une amélioration de la situation humanitaire dans la bande de Gaza. Nous venons de recevoir le feu vert de la Jordanie pour

De hernieuwde toegang voor luchtdroppings en VN-hulpkonvooien over land biedt België een concrete mogelijkheid om bij te dragen aan een verbetering van de humanitaire situatie in de Gazastrook. We kregen zonet groen licht van Jordanië om die bijdrage op korte termijn effectief

As we await full details of the new EU–US trade agreement, one thing is clear: this is a moment of relief but not of celebration. Tariffs will increase in several areas and some key questions remain unresolved. Still, I commend President @vonderleyen and her team for their hard

A British TV network aired a special on AI’s impact on the workforce — but in a surprising twist at the end, viewers discovered the host was actually an AI. The reveal sparked conversations about the growing need for transparency and awareness around how AI can convincingly mimic

Na zes maanden hard labeur bereikte de regering vandaag een tweede groot akkoord over belangrijke socio-economische hervormingen. We stellen de pensioenen veilig voor de toekomst, verlagen gevoelig de belastingdruk op arbeid richting 2029 en maken onze economie attractiever

Had a good conversation with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir @Keir_Starmer. I talked with our trusted neighbour on how to work together to enhance Euro-Atlantic security and promote bilateral relations. United by our strong economic ties, shared history and common
