It was a privilege to share the stage with all candidates for Secretary-General.
We may bring different experiences and ideas, but we are united by our commitment to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and our belief that multilateralism matters.
My sincere thanks to fellow President of the General Assembly Annalena Baerbock for convening this Town Hall, and to @Bloomberg for bringing this conversation to a global audience.

A pleasure to meet DRC Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner. We discussed UN reform and the DRC’s dynamic Security Council presidency: conflict and critical minerals, more effective and impact-driven peace operations, prevention, and peaceful settlement under the UN Charter. @RDCongoMAE@RDC_Minafet
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
I had a very constructive meeting with H.E. Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain, @bahdiplomatic. We exchanged views on the peace and security challenges facing the Gulf region and beyond, and on the essential role of the United Nations in fostering dialogue and international cooperation at this critical time.
Our city doesn’t need more taxes—it needs better spending, stronger accountability, and leadership that puts taxpayers first. Let’s keep demanding responsible use of every public dollar.
The Buttigiegs have experienced a nightmare that should never have happened at all.
I hope whoever is responsible is found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/mFaGCzZYJB

Delighted to meet today with the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea, H.E. Cho Hyun. Our exchange focused on strengthening international cooperation and renewing multilateralism to meet the challenges of our time.
I deeply value the Republic of Korea’s commitment to peace, dialogue and principled cooperation, and its role in shaping a @UN that is more effective and relevant.

On this International Day of #WomeninDiplomacy, I return to a guiding principle: global cooperation works best when the table reflects the world it serves.
From Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the 1st woman to preside over the #UNGA, to the women who helped shape the UN Charter, women diplomats have advanced negotiations, built bridges, and elevated priorities that matter to people’s lives.
The true measure of diplomacy is not the meetings we hold, but the lives we improve. Preventing conflict and building consensus requires leadership that draws on the full diversity of talent and experience.
As the @UN looks ahead to selecting its next Secretary-General, there is a historic opportunity to advance women’s leadership, strengthen trust, and renew multilateralism for the challenges of our time.
Today, I pay tribute to women diplomats everywhere who work every day to bridge divides and build common ground.
Her father has Down syndrome. The doctors said he couldn't raise her… But they were wrong.
Michael worked, he learned, he was there for her every step of the way. Her mother left when she was six months old, but he never did. Today, she studies at the same university, and he applauded her on her first day and on her graduation.
