An honour to address the @NATO Science and Technology Organisation (STO) during the Autonomy, #Space, and #AI Research Symposium this morning.

#NATO needs to draw on all of its best scientific minds to defend our one billion citizens. Congratulations to the Chairs and the Women in STO community for bringing together impressive female experts to discuss these topics that are essential to operational effectiveness today and into the future. #wps #LeadershipMatters #StrongerTogether

On the occasion of the 26th anniversary since the adoption of #unscr1325 I joined in NYC the @UN Security Council open debate on #WPS. My message is clear: women’s leadership, participation and expertise strengthen our ability to anticipate risk, make better decisions and deliver security. WPS is not separate from keeping our populations safe. It’s part of the same task. Here is my statement #LeadershipMatters #StrongerTogether

[Greece in NATO @GreeceNATO]

From peace negotiations to conflict prevention and recovery, women's leadership matters.
Today, 🇬🇷 joined partners at the UNSC to reaffirm our commitment to the #WPS agenda and to ensuring that women are not only protected in conflict, but empowered to shape peace.

What I value most about leadership is the possibility to help others grow, unlock their potential and envision what they can achieve.
I couldn’t be prouder to launch #LeadInSecurity, #NATO’s leadership accelerator for women in defence & security, bringing together 20 emerging leaders from across the Alliance.
Almost 1K applications reflect the talent and ambition among women in our community.
Over the next 10 months, our mentees will build skills, learn from experienced leaders & grow together.

As we approach the 26th anniversary of UNSCR 1325, #LeadInSecurity is one concrete way to turn our #WPS commitments into action.

My heartfelt thanks to @BelgiumNATO for making this programme possible & Amb. @Willem_vdVoorde for his presence and commitment, to @DepSecGenNATO Radmila Shekerinska & DG Management/DCoS Lorenz Meyer-Minnemann for strongly supporting the initiative and sharing their leadership experiences with our mentees.

Welcome to the @NATO community, mentees. I look forward to following your journeys!

Strong institutions and resilient societies depend on making full use of the talent, experience and leadership around us.

This was my message in Prishtina 🇽🇰 at the conference on women’s leadership organized by @JahjagaFdn.

Thank you H.E. @AtifeteJahjaga for bringing together such an inspiring group of leaders and voices from across the region. A rich and thought-provoking discussion.

Thank you, Major General Özkan Ulutaş, for the warm welcome and for the valuable discussion on #WPS. It is always a pleasure to visit @NATO_KFOR and to see first-hand the important work being done to support security and lasting peace in Kosovo #StrongerTogether #WeAreNATO @NATOWPS

I was delighted to join an inspiring group of women leaders in New York for the “Women at the Table” dinner, hosted by HRH Amb. Reema Bandar Al-Saud @rbalsaud & @Dalyahya @dcorg.

Leadership matters. When women bring their leadership, ideas and determination to the table they inspire others, build connections across different spheres and turn individual action into progress that reaches far beyond the room. #UNGA81 #WPS #StrongerTogether

Today I had the pleasure of opening the two-day International Contact Group on Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response hosted by @NATO in collaboration with @UKNATO & @NLatNATO. The meeting brought together Allies, partners, military colleagues, NGOs and academics to exchange experiences and explore ways to strengthen cooperation in mitigating and responding to civilian harm. #CHMR is a shared responsibility and it requires continued dialogue and coordination. Thank you Amb. @ACWLapsley and Amb. @MarceldeVink for your presence and commitment #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether #WPS

Kicking off Day 1 in #Ankara ahead of the #NATOSummit as keynote speaker @WIISItaly event on "Strengthening Readiness through a Whole-of-Society Approach."

As @NATO Allies strengthen deterrence & defence, investing in people is as important as investing in capabilities. #WPS helps build stronger human capital, more inclusive leadership & greater societal resilience.

Thank you @Lore_Teodorescu @WIISItaly and @MunSecConf for convening this timely discussion, and to @IrynaNykorak for sharing powerful lessons from #Ukraine on resilience, preparedness and the role of society in strengthening security.

[WIIS Italy @WIISItaly]

On 7 July 2026, alongside the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, the side event to explore how the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda, together with a whole-of-society approach, can strengthen operational readiness and enhance resilience. Register here https://t.co/nsqXcHecTU

Over the past years, wherever my work took me, I made a point of sitting down with women in uniform, not for official meetings, but to really listen. To understand what barriers they face, what keeps other women from considering a career in #security & #defence, what it feels like to navigate a world that still tells women they don't belong.

Their stories deserved to be heard.

That's how #InHerService was born.

Today, I'm honoured to launch the first interview, and we're starting from #Ukraine.

Meet Olha Bihar @Avihai_shitriit: from lawyer to Deputy Brigade Commander @GeneralStaffUA .
