Good to once again meet @MacdonaldIngrid, @UN Resident Coordinator in Albania, ahead of my meeting with the @UN Country Team. We spoke about strengthening partnerships to drive development in 🇦🇱, including closer collaboration across the @UN system and with other stakeholders. Thank you for your support for #GirlsInICT Day. I look forward to your participation in tomorrow’s global celebration.
@UN_Albania
Pleased to meet with Ms. Ingrid Macdonald, #UN Resident Coordinator in Albania, and to exchange views on #Albania’s strong and longstanding cooperation with the United Nations across a broad range of shared priorities.
I expressed my appreciation for the important role the UN #CountryTeam in advancing Albania’s reform and development agenda, including through the forthcoming UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, which is closely aligned with our EU #accession path.
Special focus is placed on our collaboration in key areas such as human capital development, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and youth empowerment, particularly in the context of Albania’s upcoming Voluntary National Review in July.
Albania remains firmly committed to multilateralism and to working closely with the United Nations system, contributing actively to global and regional efforts in support of peace, security, #sustainable development, and the protection of #humanrights.
At today’s Briefing on recalibrating the Resident Coordinator System Ambassador @suelajanina underlined the importance of the RC system as a central pillar of a more coherent and effective United Nations development system at country level.
In Albania 🇦🇱, the Resident Coordinator has played a key role in advancing partnerships and ensuring that @UN delivers as one.
We support a recalibration that moves beyond a one-size-fits-all approach and promotes a more flexible, efficient, and demand-driven system.
Thank you, Ambassador @SuelaJanina, for your impactful remarks at the #ECOSOC briefing on strengthening the @UN Resident Coordinator system.
For nearly two decades, Albania has stood at the forefront of UN reform. As one of the original “Delivering as One” pilot countries, it helped shape a more coherent, agile, and country-driven model for development cooperation — one that continues to inspire change across the UN system.
Today, that leadership moves forward through the new United Nations–Albania Cooperation Framework, co-created with the Government and people of Albania. Focused, results-driven, and aligned with national priorities, it is designed to accelerate progress on the #SDGs and deliver tangible impact where it matters most.
This is what effective multilateralism looks like in action — partnership, innovation, and results.
Proud to stand alongside Albania in driving meaningful reform and lasting impact.

I would like us to renew our hope that #peace is possible! From the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of the Resurrection, where this year #Easter is being celebrated by Catholics and Orthodox on the same day, may the light of peace radiate throughout the Holy Land and the entire world.

My message to young people worldwide:
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
To change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for #OurCommonFuture.
