Fruitful conversation with the Group of Friends @UNhumansecurity about the Pacific Climate Change Migration and Human Security (PCCMHS) program. A regionally endorsed framework grounded in a human security approach to empower Pacific communities affected by climate change.

The EU’s engagement in this #IMRF2026 debate on routes is significant, given the reach of policies across borders and regions. Migration works along routes - policy and cooperation should too. Stronger cooperation means stronger impact.

"El Foro de Examen de la Migración Internacional acaba de adoptar la Declaración sobre los Progresos, una hoja de ruta para los próximos 4 años que reafirma la importancia de la cooperación. Ahora viene lo más importante: convertir los compromisos en acciones para las personas".

🌱At #IMRF2026 (#GoalsLounge), Dialogue 2 explored how labor mobility can address skills gaps and support a just transition. 👉 Bottom line: labor mobility at scale is key. With @UN_Partnerships #GCM

What drives someone to risk everything to migrate? In this episode of #Spotlight, @CelestinFranz reflects on the human realities behind migration in East and Horn of Africa and what they mean for #IMRF2026. 🎧 Listen here: iom.int/ZeL

Great exchange with Amb Dieynaba Touré Bathily, Director of Legal & Consular Affairs at @miaae_senegal, at #IMRF2026. Senegal continues to lead the way on safe & regular migration. Looking forward to the first West Africa Migrant Response Plan meeting in Dakar later this year.

🇮🇳Pleased to accompany @IOMchief Amy Pope in meeting H.E. Kirti Vardhan Singh, #India’s State Minister for External Affairs, at #IMRF2026. A thoughtful exchange on migrant worker protection, regular pathways, climate mobility, including how IT/AI can support migration governance.

As #IMRF2026 concludes, the new World Migration Report is a reminder that migration policy needs to be based on data. The evidence continues to show that safe and regular pathways benefit people, communities, and economies alike. Read it now: iom.int/ZeK

🌍📷 #IMRF2026 concludes with a shared achievement: a Member State–led Progress Declaration adopted by consensus and reaffirming the #GCM and setting priorities through 2030 — from labour rights to safer pathways and saving lives. See you in 2030! 📷bit.ly/IMRF2026Declar…

Member States adopted a Progress Declaration at #IMRF2026, reaffirming their commitment to the voluntary Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and cooperation through 2030. Read more 👉 iom.int/Zet

The International Migration Review Forum just adopted the Progress Declaration, setting a clear direction for the next four years and reaffirming the importance of cooperation on migration. What comes next matters most - turning commitments into action that delivers for people.

Women on the move often encounter great barriers when seeking justice - no papers, no language support, no services that understand their lived realities. At #CSW70, IOM called on governments to change that.

Pleased to meet with UN @indonesiaunny, Ambassador Umar Hadi. We had a timely discussion on Indonesia’s migrant workers protection policy. We looked into ways on how to increase the role of diaspora and remittances.

Migration is a fact of life. With over 300 million people on the move worldwide, governance is essential. The Global Compact provides the framework to ensure migration is safe, orderly, and beneficial for countries of origin, transit, and destination. As we approach the Second International Migration Review Forum, it is important to take stock of implementation against the commitments of the Global Compact.

We're moving beyond theory. Integrated shelter coordination, shared humanitarian data, route-based protection. This is what UN80 looks like in practice. This is how we prove multilateralism can adapt and deliver.

Proud to share that IOM is now co‑leading the new Global Shelter, Land and Site Coordination Cluster. This matters. It brings vital support together so families caught in crisis can find safety faster and begin rebuilding their lives with dignity.

Always a great pleasure catching up with @FijiMissionUN to exchange on the close collaboration on the PIF regional framework on labour mobility and climate mobility. Resilience is strengthened through human mobility that enables adaptation in the face of climate change.

Delighted to catch up with @MelnykAndrij, PR of Ukraine, to recognise the resilience and offer continued support in life-saving humanitarian assistance. A thoughtful conversation on the need to prepare for returns as a crucial part of the recovery process.

Pleasure meeting the PR of @BelizeUN, Janine Elizabeth Coye-Felson, to provide an update on IOM’s Resilience Campaign. Thoughtful conversation on the role of the diaspora and labour mobility pathways.

Delighted to meet Amb Charles Masole, PR of Botswana, to commend ongoing efforts for the National Migration Policy. Timely and thoughtful discussion on the IMRF. Wonderful to catch up on some personal memories from 🇧🇼 - “Ke a leboga”.
