    Dialogue continues in Geneva, even when the world feels divided. In 2025, @UNGeneva serviced 8,786 meetings, supporting multilateral dialogue on global issues in Geneva and beyond.

    Today was my first meeting with ⁦⁦@UNGeneva⁩ staff and a first occasion to discuss key issues and priorities ahead. UN Geneva is at the heart of #multilateralism thanks to its excellent workforce and I look forward to working closely with everyone in the years to come.

    Today marks the International Day of #Multilateralism. As the #COVID19 pandemic is the biggest test the world & the multilateral system have faced since WWII, I am convinced there's no other solution than working together, multilaterally, to bring the disease under control. #UN75
