Real change is built steadily, relying on strong partnerships.🤝In 🇯🇴, the UNESCO MDP, with the wonderful support of Sweden & Norway, has helped us achieve exactly that.

From youth podcasts to film screenings, young people are finding ways to speak out against hate speech. 👇

I warmly welcome the announced agreement between USA & Iran. It is essential to ensure toll-free navigation through the Hormuz strait, and that the agreement covers Lebanon. Talks on Iran’s nuclear program must follow.
I thank Pakistan, Qatar & others for their dedicated efforts.

“Few wars end with the complete victory of one side. The majority of wars end at the negotiating table. This is a reminder that diplomacy remains essential.”

نقاشٌ مثمر مع سمو الأميرة نور ومجموعة من زملائي السفراء حول أهمية اليقظة الذهنية والصحة النفسية في تعزيز المرونة والقيادة الإيجابية. من الضروري إدراج هذه القضايا مبكراً لحماية الشباب وتمكينهم من مواجهة تسارع وضغوط الحياة المعاصرة.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

Palestine needs our attention now. The situation remains critical.

More than 90 countries & organisations gather at the Global Alliance for the two-state solution with the same objective: Improving the situation on the ground now and creating a pathway for the Palestinian State.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

It is important now to ensure a safe and speedy re-opening of traffic through the Hormuz straits, and to work towards turning this temporary ceasefire into a lasting solution that also deals credibly with Iran’s nuclear programme.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I welcome the temporary ceasefire between Iran and the United States. This gives diplomacy a chance, at a moment when the world stood on the brink of a dangerous escalation.

I commend Pakistan, working with Türkiye & Egypt, for their tireless efforts for dialogue.

I welcome yesterday’s strong UN Security Council resolution condemning Iran’s attacks against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan, which we co-sponsored.
Threats against maritime security and international navigation in the region must cease immediatly.
