Very interesting to see the discrepancy in priorities between the EU co-chair and the AU co-chair in their opening speeches:

The 3rd #EUAU Ministerial Meeting is taking place in #Brussels today.
On the #EU side, we are disappointed to see no mention of health or human development in
@kajakallas.bsky.social 's opening speech, despite #health being confirmed as a key pillar of the #partnership (1/2)

All female panel at the #GHPF2025. 🎉
Great points made by @kstoreng.bsky.social on the need for public interests to take precedence over private interests in global health discussions. "Commitment to multi stakeholder inclusion cannot come at the expense of adequate rules and expectations for all"

When public money is used to honour contracts, transparency on how those contracts were negotiated and what the terms are is vital.
This is a landmark ruling.

📣 @ec.europa.eu you now have a chance to match the EP’s ambition with a budget that will allow the EU to lead globally!

As you prepare the next #MFF proposal, we call for an ODA budget of at least €200 billion. Our prosperity and security are inextricably linked with those of our partners.

We don't NEED to chose between #defence and #internationaldevelopment.
We DO need to #taxtherich to ensure the UK has the financial resources to ensure both defence needs and international development #commitments are met.
