I welcome Iran’s announcements that the Strait of Hormuz is completely open for all commercial vessels for the remainder of the ceasefire. This a step in the right direction. The @UN position remains clear: we need the full restoration of international navigational rights & freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz, respected by everyone. I also hope that, together with the ceasefire, this measure will contribute to creating confidence between the parties and strengthen the ongoing dialogue facilitated by Pakistan.

I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon, and commend the role of the US in facilitating it.

Ukraine: Wave of Russian attacks against several large cities results in numerous civilian deaths and injuries. The UN and humanitarian aid agencies are providing medical and psychological support, and distributing shelter materials to those affected. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

Welcoming a 10 day ceasefire, brokered by the US, to give space for negotiations (and not the battlefield) to dictate what comes next. Another important step to break the cycle of conflict that has prevailed for far too long. Lasting stability for all must be the shared objective.

Such a pleasure to meet my @YAGClimate Youth Advisory Group again this week. I am grateful for their advocacy & ideas to mobilise global youth movements & accelerate bold #ClimateAction around the world.
