Dear @AlboMP thank you for your warm welcome to Canberra today.
Europe and Australia share the same vision of the world – even though worlds apart.
We believe in the power of openness and partnership.
We believe that prosperity is driven by free and fair trade.
We believe that peace is built on rules, and that our security is interconnected.
And even though we live in different hemispheres, we are ready to join forces to defend them.
In a time of global turbulence, I’m here to take our partnership to the next level.
We need to. And we want to.
