Sabrina Dallafior

H.E. Permanent Representative of the Kingdom to the (OPCW) Ambassador Shahir K. AlKhaniny met the new @OPCW_DG Ambassador Sabrina Dallafior, to congratulate her on her appointment and to discuss ways of further strengthening cooperation between the Kingdom and the organization.

I am honoured to begin my term today as Director-General of the @OPCW. I am committed to strengthening the Technical Secretariat’s implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and working with our Member States and partners to uphold the global norm against chemical weapons.

The 27th OPCW Associate Programme has officially kickstarted in The Hague! The Programme brings together participants from around the world to strengthen national implementation of the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention and promote the peaceful uses of chemistry. “The Associate Programme is not simply a training course - it is an investment in people and in the future of the Convention,” said Deputy Director-General Kaapanda-Girnus. Over the next nine weeks, participants will gain valuable knowledge and practical skills from experts across the OPCW, academia, industry, and partner organisations. We wish all Associates a successful and rewarding experience as they join a global network committed to a world #FreeOfChemicalWeapons. To learn more ➡️ visitopcw.org/4wspQj4
