Brussels, June 23. (LaPresse) – “In Lebanon, Israel and Hezbollah are trapped in a dangerous cycle of attacks, counterattacks and fragile ceasefires. With Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi, I reviewed EU support for the Lebanese Armed Forces and the work on establishing a new EU mission in the country.” This was written on X by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas, who is in Amman, Jordan, for talks with representatives of the Arab League. “The EU naval operation Aspides – she added – plays a vital role in protecting shipping in the region. With Djibouti’s Foreign Minister Abdoulkader Houssain Omar, I discussed maritime security and the importance of freedom of navigation,” she added. In addition, “with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani, I exchanged views on regional security and the country’s path towards an inclusive political transition, building on the exchanges from our recent first ministerial dialogue.” Finally, “I discussed with Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf the deepening of bilateral relations and the positive trajectory of EU–Algeria cooperation.”
