On 10 Jozef Síkela European Commissioner for International Partnerships delivers the closing remarks of the Global Gateway Forum 2025.
Commissioner Síkela will discuss the Global Gateway Investment Hub, as well as how 🇪🇺 Global Gateway is transforming development cooperation into strategic investment.

On the following pillars:

🔹 Strengthen Europe’s resilience by ensuring reliable access to energy, critical raw materials, and stronger stability in our neighbourhood.
🔹 Promote a model of cooperation based on transparency, reliability, and shared priorities – not imposition, debt, or dependency.
🔹 Boost development impact by working more closely with the private sector and private investors.
