“As Russia’s war against Ukraine marks its one-year anniversary, the High Representative will convey a strong message on Russia’s blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter, and its global consequences, in particular on energy and food insecurity, but also on the importance of a stronger multilateralism system, fit for the future, as well as the crucial need to speed up the green transition to address the existential threats of climate change and biodiversity loss globally,” the statement read.

“The High Representative will also focus on threats enabled by new technologies, such as disinformation and cybersecurity,” the statement added.

On the first day of the Raisina Dialogue, Borrell will address the session “The New High Table: Realigning the G20 in a changing world”. The High Representative’s intervention will be available in Europe by Satellite (EbS).

During his visit, High Representative Borrell will have bilateral meetings with his counterparts from different continents, to discuss regional and bilateral issues, according to the statement.
