I had a successful meeting with Gary Coronel, Vice Minister of @FinanzasEc. We discussed the important contribution of migrants to Ecuador’s economy and their role as a driving force for development in both countries of origin and host countries.

I joined @UNOPS Deputy Executive Director Kristine Damkjaer and fellow UN colleagues for an insightful #UNCT session. We explored how stronger partnerships can advance migrant inclusion, sustainable development, and support #Ecuador as a #GCM champion.

Honoured to meet @gabisommerfeld to commend Ecuador’s leadership in advancing rights-based migration governance and commitment to multilateralism. From pioneering regularisation and diaspora engagement to leading the #QuitoProcess, #Ecuador sets the standard in the region.

At today’s launch of National Implementation Plan 2025–2029, I appreciated #Ecuador’s leadership as a GCM Champion. A true whole-of-government and society effort shaped by local voices and global partnerships. This plan sets a regional benchmark for safe and orderly migration.

Pleasure to meet with @CarlosFGalan, Mayor of Bogotá – a city that has become a model for urban inclusion, hosting over 589K migrants & 360K victims of conflict. Together, we will continue to work towards socio-economic integration & smart solutions for the benefit of Bogotá.

Honored to join today’s #GFMD Voluntary Dialogue on the Global Compact for Migration. The Compact remains a vital tool of multilateralism – showing that collective action on migration delivers results. Partnerships, data, & cooperation will be key as we look ahead to #IMRF2026.

Glad to meet with Special Rapporteur on the human rights of Internally Displaced Persons @PaulaGaviriaB. I extended my appreciation for her efforts and leadership to uphold the rights and dignity of IDPs. Her voice brings visibility and authority to the displacement agenda.

Lives hang in the balance in #Gaza. Families endure relentless displacement, hunger, and disease with no safe place to turn. Aid is ready. Ceasefire now.

Grateful to Foreign Minister @ryvillavicencio for hosting the 15th #GFMD & for Colombia’s leadership in migration governance. From humanitarian aid to regularisation & socio-economic integration of migrants, returnees & IDPs, Colombia sets a powerful example of inclusive policy.

On this #EidAlAdha, I’m thinking of the many who mark this day in places of uncertainty—displacement sites, temporary shelters, or in exile. Your courage and resilience continue to inspire us all. May peace and safety reach you soon. #EidMubarak

“I met people who had effectively nowhere else to turn,” @IOMchief told me of visiting #Gaza. Since a ceasefire ended, “our ability to get anything in to support shelter has been nonexistent, & so we know the suffering has only increased enormously.” thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2025…
