Honoured to assume the Presidency of #ECOSOC. I am deeply grateful for the trust & confidence placed in Algeria and in me by the African Group & all UN Member States. I look forward to serving as President with dedication, advancing multilateralism, cooperation, and solidarity throughout my tenure.

Outgoing #ECOSOC President Ambassador Thapa leaves a powerful vision: A Council of voices, vision, partnerships, action-and above all, hope. A reminder that multilateralism can still deliver for people and the planet. #2030Agenda #GlobalGoals #SDGs

In my opening statement at the Ministerial Segment of the #HLPF, I called on the international community to make the remaining years to 2030 a delivery cycle-not another reporting cycle. The #SDGs remain our shared blueprint for building a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world. #GlobalGoals

On International Women’s Day 2026 - #IWD2026, women’s rights mean nothing if we cannot defend them. Women and girls have just 64% of the legal rights of men. When justice fails, women pay the price. Without justice, rights are just words. With justice, rights become power. #ForAllWomenAndGirls
