This is huge! Very significant. Not only the additional arrest warrants which are significant but also the analysis of persecution on the grounds of gender and its application to the policies and practices of the Taliban.

On the National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation, I’m honoured to wear #DeborahsTravellingDress, which belonged to my former colleague, Deborah Chatsis - a proud member of the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation and Canada’s first female First Nations ambassador.

As US Ambassador to NATO on 9/11, the first to call me to suggest we invoke Article 5 was Canadian Ambassador David Wright. Our allies came to our rescue that terrible day. I’ll call David this morning 25 years later to thank him and our great neighbor Canada once again!

46 years ago today Terry Fox was forced to end his Marathon of Hope just East of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Since then - close to a billion dollars have been fundraised on his behalf for cancer research. 🇨🇦

At the #UNSC, @Rola_Roukbi calls for human rights, women's participation, civic space, accountability and rule of law to be central to the UN's role in #Syria, and any UN engagement with the Syrian transitional authorities.

Happy 35th Independence Day, Republic of Moldova! 🇲🇩

Today, we celebrate the Republic of Moldova — the country we call home, with the people, values, traditions, and places that connect us and define us.

The present we live today was built by those who had the courage to choose freedom and build an independent state. It is our responsibility to cherish that freedom, protect it, and preserve it for our children and generations to come.

35 years in the history of a young state, shaped by people who believed in Moldova and contributed, each in their own way, to building our country. 35 years of lessons learned and challenges that have made us stronger as a society.

Our journey continues. And Moldova’s future is in our hands.

Happy Independence Day to all citizens of the Republic of Moldova, at home and around the world!

La mulți ani tuturor cetățenilor Republicii Moldova, de acasă și de pretutindeni!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

For the first time in its history, Russia cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea. It is now preparing to deploy an additional North Korean contingent on its territory. It has also received additional ballistic missiles from North Korea. Everyone around the world must understand what this means.

This is not only about the lives of people in Ukraine, and not only about the threats we face. North Korea’s ballistic missiles and other weapons are being improved through its collaboration with Russia. The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots, the greater the danger will later be for Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and other countries in the region.

That is why, when we speak about the need for joint action, for coordination and mutual support, when we speak about the need to help us strengthen our air defense, we are also, in fact, speaking about taking away North Korea’s appetite and any interest in coming here – to our land and into our skies – with its weapons in order to learn how to wage war. Everyone across the globe who respects human life must stand together in taking action to protect people.

From the evening address.

Having been through this twice with our own autistic/neurodivergent son in both Ottawa & while on posting in Washington DC — he was found on both occasions — I can only underscore the importance of a nation-wide response framework, training & equal treatment.
