Irish in Vienna. @OSCE Views my own. RT doesn’t mean I agree (but I might).

[Feridun H. Sinirlioğlu @OSCESecGen]

The @OSCE is a platform for dialogue.

Much of our work happens behind the scenes: countless conversations, quiet moments of mediation, and steady efforts to bridge voices and build trust. At the Ministerial Council, this commitment becomes tangible.

Thank you for joining us.

💬 Dialogue is the bridge we can always build.

It connects perspectives.
It creates trust.
It makes progress possible.

At the OSCE, dialogue is at the heart of what we do.

[Patrick O'Reilly @Patrick42435354]

@DanMulhall Fully agree, Dan. It’s time to have an honest conversation about defence in Ireland, one that looks beyond ill-defined terms like “neutrality”, to honestly describe what this means, and what our own responsibilities are, to ourselves and to our European neighbours.
