Brutal and largely correct

Grateful for this opportunity to present my views on the parliamentary dimension of the EU-ASEAN partnership. europeinseasia.substack.com

Thank you KAS Media Programme Asia for inviting me to speak on the impact of EU elections, domestically and for the strategic relations with its ASEAN partners. European Parliament will surely continue to deepen the EU integration process and to develop its relations with Southeast Asia. #EE24

2024 European elections have proved politically significant, with an overall rise of the far right. Yet if the pro-European majority has got smaller by 4 to 6%, it is still there. Turnout same as 2019: 51%. The path to EU integration is narrower, but is more vital than ever.

No decisions on Ukraine can be made without Ukraine. The #PathToPeace must be one based on freedom and justice, that safeguards Ukraine’s ownership over its own fate and territory. #UAPeaceSummit

Entering the 47th year of the EU-ASEAN partnership, our relationship is stronger than ever. With the Team Europe Initiative on Sustainable Connectivity, the relationship between the EU and ASEAN is expected to be: 🤝 sustainable ✅ comprehensive 📕 rules-based EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺

The United Kingdom just gave the world a lesson of democracy. Elections yesterday, smooth change of government a day later. No drama, no abandoning power to radicals, just a healthy alternance. France should learn from that.

In an op-ed to ASEANcham EU , I argue that seen from Southeast Asia, the European elections general outcome is positive: it brings stability, continuity and predictability to EU’s relationship with its strategic partner. See rb.gy/sfw0zb #EUASEANTrustedPartners

Selamat hari kemerdekaan teman-teman Indonesia Happy Independence Day to my Indonesian friends

The French people voted in June and didn’t come up with an obvious majority (to say the least). Good luck to the new PM to find a respectful and functional governance solution. I know he has what it takes to get there. bbc.com/news/articles/…
