EU Member States are serious about protecting the @IntlCrimCourt and a world governed by international law.
In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work.
The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the ICC and has urged to reverse them.
The EU will use the next six months for dialogue, to find a solution and explore what more we can do to help the Court.
The Sakharov Prize recognises the ICC’s vital work in giving victims of the gravest crimes a voice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

It was my pleasure to welcome President of Viet Nam, Tô Lâm, to Brussels.
President Tô Lâm’s visit today follows my visit to Hanoi in January of this year, when we elevated the relationship between the EU and Viet Nam to a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”.
In an uncertain world, the EU and Viet Nam are proving that reliable and predictable partnerships matter.
In spite of our geographical distance, we share the same vision to defend multilateralism and uphold the international rules-based order.
We are now focused on developing our partnership further and investing in each other’s future: on green transition, critical raw materials, technology and innovation, strategic infrastructure and other sectors.
