We cannot tackle global challenges alone. The EU is committed to preserving and strengthening the rules-based multilateral international order, with the United Nations at its core.

EU High Representative Mogherini and Canadian Foreign Minister Freeland conclude a two-day meeting with women foreign ministers from around the world with pledge to work closer together on shared challenges and to advance shared values.

The European Union has started as a peace project and has successfully transformed a war-torn and conflict-prone continent into a global actor in peacebuilding and conflict resolution. The European Union promotes peace across the globe by addressing the root causes of conflict, contributing to creating the necessary conditions for the reconstruction of societies and supporting the recovery of affected civilians. The International Day of Peace reminds us that peace is not a given. Three projects in Ukraine, the Philippines and Niger show how local actors, with the support from the international community, can build peace.
