As we enhance our long-standing partnership with #Spain, I was honoured to sign a strategic framework with H.E. @jmalbares, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

With Spain’s support for @UNFPA’s work, we are building a more inclusive world where everyone thrives.

Building peace and democracy was on the agenda at the 5th Ministerial Conference on #FeministForeignPolicy.

When women and girls are healthy and can exercise their rights, societies are more peaceful.

It is up to all of us to defend human dignity, freedom and equality.

Alongside young leaders and innovators, I inaugurated a youth talent lab in #Congo that will serve as a dynamic space for learning & collaboration.

Through this initiative, @UNFPA reaffirms its commitment to strengthening young people's leadership & investing in their potential.

Africa's most strategic asset is its people.

This week, I joined @AfDB_Group governors for a dialogue on how Africa can mobilize & deploy financing for sustainable development.

My message: Africa’s development financing must place people at its centre, especially women & youth.

Access to menstrual health is a necessity, not a luxury.

When women and girls can manage their periods with dignity, they can stay in school, lead in their workplaces, and shape their futures.

On #MenstrualHygieneDay, join @UNFPA to ensure that everyone gets the care they need.

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

We condemn the violations of international law meant to protect civilians in armed conflict. 

For the sake of our shared humanity, the rules that protect civilians must be upheld. 

@iascch principals statement ⬇️

[Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) @iascch]

Protecting civilians in armed conflict is a responsibility Member States and the UN Security Council must uphold. It is a legal obligation and a moral imperative.

Principals of the #IASC raise the alarm over blatant violations of IHL and human rights law https://t.co/vw2bhjzTNn

Productive consultations with #Japan, led by Amb. Ryo Nakamura, Director-General and Assistant Minister for Global Issues.

Thoughtful discussion on shared priorities, including demographic resilience, UN80 and global humanitarian response.

Grateful for Japan’s stalwart support.

As global challenges become more interconnected and complex, a strong and united UN development system is essential.

Important discussions at @UN_SDG Chief Executives Board meeting in Tokyo on emerging trends, multilateral cooperation and making an impact where it matters most.

To end obstetric fistula, we must close the gaps in maternal healthcare.

From 2003 to 2025, @UNFPA supported nearly 153,000 surgical repairs for this childbirth injury.

This #EndFistula Day, join us to take action: so that every mother can not just survive, but thrive.

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

Delighted to cross paths with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi as we celebrate 70 years of Japan-UN cooperation.

@UNFPA appreciates our strong partnership with #Japan and its leadership in multilateral spaces.

Wonderful to experience a traditional tea ceremony at the start of my mission to #Japan.

A grounding ritual that helps us appreciate the beauty in our world, and a reminder that even in uncertain times, peace can still be found in a single shared moment.

[Diene Keita @unfpachief]

The hospital I visited in Uzbekistan is proof of its commitment to quality maternal health services, and how health reforms translate into impact.

These efforts are reaching the last mile.

@UNFPA is proud to support Uzbekistan in strengthening people-centered health systems.

A privilege to address the 2nd Asian Women’s Forum in Bukhara, #Uzbekistan.

Faith-based actors are powerful agents of change.

Kazakhstan’s greatest asset is its young people.

Engaging discussion on a shared digital future co-created by them, for them.

As AI changes the way we live, we all must ensure that digital future is safe.
