“In this increasingly complex geopolitical environment, we must strengthen our partnerships based on shared interests. Take, for example, our relationship with #India. Given the country’s growing role in ensuring the security of the #Indo_Pacific region, closer cooperation between the #EU and #India is more important than ever,” #von_der_Leyen said.

#European Commission President #Ursula_von_der_Leyen said that #Russia is preparing for a future confrontation with European democracies.

"The era of the peace dividends
is long gone," she said.

#Ursula_von_der_Leyen also said that just as these threats of confrontation increase, "Europe's oldest partner – the #United_States – move their focus to the #Indo_Pacific"

#Elina_Valtonen, Foreign Minister of #Finland:

"Concessions we are looking at should be and come from the part of #Russia and from nowhere else.

Otherwise, you will be compromising with international law and the #UN_Charter, which would have global implications. This obviously is a space and a theatre that is also closely watched in the #Indo_Pacific.
