One message stood out at this year's #UNGA81: Global challenges require strong partnerships and effective multilateral cooperation. You can find some reflections and a look back at last week in New York on my Instagram (📸kajsaollongren) and LinkedIn (🔗Kajsa Ollongren).

People need the prospect of a better future in #Syria. Sustainable solutions for the return of displaced people are an integral part of Syria's recovery and transition – this is why we welcome the ambition behind Syria's 'No Camps' policy.

Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with international law. ↓
51 countries are united today in our support for Ukraine at the UN General Assembly. Since March 2025, Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. We call on Russia to finally do the same. Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with international law.

The EU and its Member States are the largest financial contributors to the UN system, year after year. Over 21% of the peacekeeping budget in 2024. More than 60% of the Peacebuilding Fund since it began. Europe shows up.

As Artificial Intelligence continues to develop, cybersecurity challenges are evolving, too. Today, at the 'Securing the AI Era' event in the margins of #UNGA, we discussed how to strengthen digital resilience and stay ahead of emerging cyber threats. It's more than time!

Food must never be used as a weapon of war.
Grain from Ukraine feeds people all over the world. But Russia is blocking exports through the Black Sea and is deliberately causing global food insecurity. The EU is calling for attacks to stop and grain to flow again. Food must never be used as a weapon of war. My remarks at our UN side event on the Black Sea ↓

The #G7 Foreign Ministers & HRVP @kajakallas consider that the situation in #Yemen represents an unacceptable threat to regional stability & security, to global energy security, and to navigational rights and freedoms and maritime security in the Red Sea & Bab al-Mandab Strait.↓

Press remarks from HRVP @kajakallas following the meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in New York ↓
Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations. Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine. As Russia is willing to take greater risks, Europe must impose greater costs. There are many ways to do that: stronger action against Russia’s shadow fleet and tougher measures targeting its military-industrial complex. My press remarks following today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in New York ↓

Belarus' involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine poses a threat to Europe and to international security, just as the regime suppresses its own people. Thank you to Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya✊️, @andrii_sybiha🇺🇦 , @Braze_Baiba🇱🇻 and many others for such a powerful reminder!

The UN High-Level Week is about to kick off in New York. For over 80 years, the UN has been the world’s common ground, bringing countries together to tackle global challenges. The EU is proud to be its biggest backer. Together with @vonderleyen and @eucopresident, we met with UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres to discuss how to strengthen cooperation in a world that needs more dialogue and trust than ever.

What I take away from my visit to Berlin: We share a clear conviction that the many global challenges we face call for faster and more effective EU external action. We need to deliver better for European citizens in a changing world. Thank you for the inspiring conversations 🇪🇺🇩🇪
