As we mark 81 years of the @UN, I reiterate #SriLanka’s firm commitment to multilateralism, the UN Charter and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
A responsible member of the UN since 1955, Sri Lanka calls for a stronger, more inclusive United Nations where every member state has a voice, the aspirations of developing countries are respected, and #SustainableDevelopment and #CimateAction remain central priorities. We must continue to foster dialogue, solidarity and international cooperation.
Together, let us advance peace, dignity, prosperity and development for all.

The Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in particular the strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, are abhorrent.
There can be no justification for attacks on civilian infrastructure. No political or military objective can justify the deliberate targeting of innocent people.
Canada condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish a full recovery to those injured.
Congratulations to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This recognition is a well-deserved honour at a time when international law and human rights face increasing pressure.
From defending anti-apartheid activists in South Africa to serving as a judge and President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Dr. Pillay has dedicated her career to advancing justice and accountability. Her work reflects the importance of upholding peace and protecting human rights around the world.
Félicitations à Navanethem « Navi » Pillay pour l’obtention du prix Nobel de la paix. Cette reconnaissance est amplement méritée, à un moment où le droit international et les droits de la personne sont soumis à des pressions croissantes.
De la défense des militants anti-apartheid en Afrique du Sud à son rôle de juge et de présidente du Tribunal pénal international pour le Rwanda (TPIR), la Dre Pillay a consacré sa carrière à faire progresser la justice et la responsabilisation. Son parcours témoigne de l’importance de préserver la paix et de défendre les droits de la personne partout dans le monde.
Yesterday, Canadian author and Icelandic citizen Anne Carson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her work is a source of pride for both countries, and I’m grateful to have had the chance to congratulate her in person here in Reykjavík.
Anne’s writing has challenged conventions and changed how we think about language, history and the human experience. Congratulations, Anne, on this well-deserved honour. Thank you so much for the conversation today.
