Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean share a cultural heritage based on centuries of common history. And what is more, we share the same values and world view. We believe in a world order that is based on cooperation, on regionalism, on multilateralism. ”

Too many times, the international community has not prepared the post-conflict period in time. ”

No country can become an E.U. member state if it introduces the death penalty. ”

As it happens in relationships that are open and frank and based on mutual respect, you say things as you think them, and this doesn't mean that you don't work together in a constructive way. ”

The E.U. can deliver on its citizens' needs and make its partnerships work only if we all act together - E.U. institutions and national governments, at all levels, united. ”

In international relations, you don't base your work on hope. ”

We will stand by the Paris climate deal. ”

Each new generation needs to commit again to the foundations of our peaceful coexistence. ”
