Ethiopia and the United Nations: A shared history. A shared future. To live together in peace! In honour of the  United Nations' journey of eight decades, Ethiopia has published a special commemorative stamp collection under the theme: "𝗧𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲." The four stamps tell our shared story, from signing the UN Charter in San Francisco in 1945, to deploying peacekeepers to the Congo and hosting the first-ever UN Security Council meeting on African soil. Distributed to 192 countries through the International Postal Union, they are a lasting tribute to a legacy that belongs not to one moment, but to every generation.   We also take this occasion to extend our deep appreciation to the United Nations’ Secretary-General H.E. António Guterres and his dedicated team for their tireless leadership in advancing peace, development, and human rights during one of the most challenging periods in modern history.   The UN endures because nations keep choosing dialogue over division. Ethiopia Always Will!

#AfricaDay is a call for collective action toward peace, prosperity, and sustainable development across our continent. As we advance #Agenda2063 and #Agenda2030, let us champion access to safe water and sanitation as a fundamental right essential to health, dignity, and environmental sustainability. “Let us foster global solidarity, recognizing that our destinies are intertwined and our voices united.” #AfricaDayCelebration #TheAfricaWeWant

L'Afrique est un immense continent, le plus jeune, avec la plus forte croissance. L'Afrique est là, forte.

Les défis de l’Afrique et de l’Europe sont les mêmes. Nous voulons la paix, la prospérité et la souveraineté.

We have had a productive conversation on Africa’s future and our cooperation with development partners, including France, at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi. We agreed to build partnerships grounded in mutual respect, co-investment, shared prosperity, and the sovereign equality of nations. At the summit, we made firm commitments on Africa’s transformation priorities. We must now turn every commitment into capital, dialogue into implementation, and ambition into tangible progress for the people of Africa. Africa is not waiting to be invited to the future. Africa is building that future now together with friends and partners. From Nairobi, we send a clear message to the world: Africa is ready to lead, ready to partner, and ready to shape a more balanced and prosperous future. With President Emmanuel Macron of France, presided over the closing ceremony of the Africa Forward Summit. We thank President Macron for his commitment to recalibrate the relationship with Africa, and for demonstrating that he is a true friend of our continent.

Quand l’Afrique réussit, l’Europe réussit, et vice-versa ! 23 milliards d'euros d'investissements privés en Afrique ont été annoncés, dont 14 milliards portés par des entreprises françaises. Africa Forward est un sommet d'action.

The reform of the United Nations Security Council is essential to addressing longstanding questions of inclusion, fairness, and the credibility of the multilateral system. It is neither practical nor just for a continent of more than 1.5 billion people to remain excluded from permanent representation in decisions that directly affect peace, security, conflict, and global stability. This imbalance weakens confidence in international institutions and undermines the principle of equal partnership among nations. The time has therefore come for the international community to recognise, without ambiguity and without delay, that Africa cannot, and will not, remain subject to decisions taken without its equal voice at the table. Chaired a roundtable on peace and security on the sidelines of the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi.

[Save the Date] A stronger partnership for a stronger Africa. The African Union and the United Nations will convene the 10th AU-UN Annual Conference in AU headquarters/Virtual on the 13th May 2026 to advance cooperation on peace, security, governance, human rights, and sustainable development in line with Agenda 2063 and the 2030 Agenda.

4/4 The SG is in Kenya for the ongoing Africa Forward Summit & inauguration of the new UN Office block in Nairobi, asserting Kenya’s position as a strategic global hub for multilateral diplomacy, sustainable development, regional cooperation & the future of the UN in Africa.

Can Africa speak with one voice in a multipolar world? 🌍 Absence of a unified vision remains one of the greatest challenges for the African Union. But the tide is turning. Following President @WilliamsRuto's recent report to the AU Assembly, the proposal for a Common African Foreign Policy marks a historic shift toward strategic autonomy. This week, our latest High-Level Diplomatic Dialogue assess this roadmap for a unified African voice. #OneAfricanVoice #LPIFESDialogue

Kenya is ready. Africa is ready. 🌍🇰🇪 #AfricaForward #AfricaForward2026
