European Union Foreign Affairs chief Josep Borrell said on Friday that Brussels welcomed the transition of power in Washington and that it is ready to work with the Biden administration in order to "tackle a variety of global challenges.", APA reports citing Teletrader.
Commenting on Biden's plans to revive global alliances, Borrell wrote in his blog post that "the transatlantic partnership, more than any other relationship has shaped international relations and global order. It is our most strategic relationship, being not only indispensable for security and prosperity in the transatlantic area, but also to sustain a world order anchored in democracy, the rule of law and multilateralism."
Borrell added that he is looking forward to working with new US State Secretary Antony Blinken in making global changes that cover four key areas - green leadership, the COVID-19 response and global health, trade and technology, as well as global action and security. He especially greeted the US decision to return to the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization.
