The new @UN House in Qatar will unite our work in the country, bringing together development, humanitarian & diplomatic collaboration under one roof.
I thank the Government & people of Qatar for their commitment & wish for many years of productive partnership.
I'm extremely encouraged that countries have agreed on the UN legally binding instrument to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction.
This is an important step to protect our oceans.
