#UN80 is an opportunity to enhance efficiency & effectiveness to ensure the @UN system focuses on what it does best. Today CANZ 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿 reiterated our support for the UN80 initiative. Together, we can shape a more effective, transparent, & accountable UN for generations to come.

I did a thing

🗣️ The Minister has delivered a speech to a UN Security Council High-Level Debate on “Leadership for Peace”. “We must be resolute in our commitment to the peaceful resolution of disputes. All states must refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or sovereignty of any state. Members of the Security Council are no exception.” Full speech: mfat.govt.nz/en/media-and-r… 🇳🇿 🇺🇳

The Minister is interviewed by @trtworld about needed reform of the United Nations Security Council.

The Minister is in New York for the High-Level Week of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly. 🇺🇳 🇳🇿 @NZUN

@FrancisLReid I’m so sorry Francis. Sending you and your family all our love and support at this painful time

The search for Monica is over & she has been found, but not in the way any of us wanted. Thank you for all the kindness. The police and everyone involved in the search were amazing. Monica was such a source of joy to so many people. There are many tears. nzherald.co.nz/nz/police-boat…

Crusaders for life! ❤️🖤

Lost a bet. Didn’t enjoy wearing this at all. @NewstalkZB

Proud that New Zealand has been able to provide Ukraine with support to defend itself through NZDF deployments to Europe and $6.5m in military support through the International Fund for Ukraine. We are also helping with $10m in humanitarian and reconstruction assistance. My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine as they mark 2 years since Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion.

@AusAmbRome All the best, dear Margaret! It was a pleasure sharing some of your return to the Eternal City!

Way back in the ‘70s my little sister & I threw our coins into the Trevi fountain. Little was I to know that the magic of the Trevi would bring me back as 🇦🇺 ambassador. It is time to go again - for now. But I will be back. Arrivederci Roma ♥️

‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’. Conflict prevention and peacebuilding save lives and money. It’s time we got serious about investing in both #PBF #PBC #peacebuilding #CANZ

Great to be with colleagues on this #FestaDellaRepubblicaItaliana 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿

A really important outcome, that will provide 1,000s of kiwis living in Australia with more rights and security. The right thing to do, and a fitting way to celebrate this very special ANZAC relationship 🇳🇿🤝🇦🇺
