Great to be back at the Organization of American States (OAS) for the election of Albert Ramdin as the new Secretary-General. Congratulations, Albert Ramdin! The UN looks forward to working with you.

Honoured to open a full-house @eplo-network.bsky.social meeting gathering inputs of European CSOs to the UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review. We need pragmatic ideas and strong partnerships to put the Pact for the Future into action - now more than ever.

Good exchange with João Cravinho, joaocravinho.bsky.social EU Special Representative for the Sahel, about the importance of peacebuilding support for the Sahel. I look forward to our further collaboration.

Excellent exchange on UN-EU partnership with Simon Mordue and Stella Ronner-Grubacic, EEAS. Agreed that investing in peacebuilding and prevention is comparatively low cost and high impact. Also essential to stay committed to the WPS agenda, not least in the anniversary year #UNSCR1325

Good to see DG Veronique Petit, @belgiummfa.bsky.social, again. We discussed how we need to be practical and efficient but not short-sighted. Continuing to invest in prevention and peacebuilding can save resources and will save lives.

Good exchange with Cosmin Dobran, European External Action Service - EEAS, on putting 'networked multilateralism' into practice and sustaining support for peacebuilding and prevention.

Good to discuss the alignment of instruments, UN-EU-WorldBank partnership and communication of impact with Peter Wagner, Head of Foreign Policy Instruments, EU, also a donor partner for the UN Peacebuilding Fund.
