Diplomacy is about building bridges, fostering consensus, and turning dialogue into action.
Today, I celebrate the women strengthening multilateralism and international cooperation. The future of diplomacy needs more women at the table.
Happy #WomenInDiplomacy Day. 🌍
Acabo de concluir una conversación telefónica con el Presidente electo de Colombia, @ABDELAESPRIELLA, a quien expresé mis más sinceras felicitaciones y mis mejores deseos para el éxito de su mandato.
Acordamos reunirnos a la mayor brevedad para dialogar sobre el fortalecimiento de la cooperación entre la Organización de los Estados Americanos @OEA_oficial y la República de Colombia, particularmente en las áreas de seguridad y desarrollo sostenible.
Espero con interés asistir a la ceremonia de transmisión de mando el próximo 7 de agosto en Bogotá.
Colombia es un carro que va a 200 km/h hacia un abismo: de seguridad, de salud, fiscal, energético e institucional.
Cepeda es la continuidad: el mismo rumbo que fortaleció a los grupos armados ilegales, dejó a los colombianos sin medicamentos y a los hospitales quebrados, llevó la deuda pública a máximos históricos, hundió la inversión a mínimos de dos décadas, nos dejó al borde de un apagón y normalizó la idea de desconocer resultados electorales y promover constituyentes.
Seguir por ese camino es estrellarse con certeza.
Development, democracy, security, and human rights are not separate agendas; they are mutually reinforcing. To address the complex challenges facing our Hemisphere, we must work across pillars, break down institutional silos, and strengthen collaboration within the @OAS_official, the Inter-American System, and with global partners.
I have asked the Executive Secretariat of the Inter-American Council for Integral @OAS_Development #CIDI to develop a more holistic strategic approach to the development agenda of the Americas. While the OAS is not a major development agency, it has the convening power to mobilize political will, partnerships, and resources around shared priorities. Our objective is clear: to help build just, free, fair, and equal societies with opportunities for all, and to advance a more peaceful and prosperous Hemisphere.
At today's meeting, I welcomed Ambassador @IsabelleValois6 as the new Executive Secretary and thanked Chair Edison Lanza of Uruguay for his leadership, particularly in highlighting energy as a critical issue for the Hemisphere's development and prosperity. I look forward to working with member states as we advance this vision together.

As we mark the 30th anniversary of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development #CIDI30, we celebrate 3 decades of advancing development across the Americas. In a time of global uncertainty, multilateralism matters more than ever. Peace & prosperity must guide us—through democracy, human rights, security & development—working together for a more inclusive, resilient hemisphere.
