This morning in Addis Ababa, I met with the State Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden, H.E. Dag Hartelius, and his delegation, where we discussed matters of mutual concern, including the peace and security situation in Sudan, South Sudan, and Somalia.
Through the State Secretary, I conveyed IGAD’s sincere appreciation to the Government and people of Sweden for their steadfast partnership and continued support to our regional development programmes. I was also pleased to receive the Letters of Credence of H.E. Magnus Lennartsson, the newly appointed Ambassador of Sweden to Ethiopia and accredited to IGAD.
IGAD values its strong cooperation with Sweden and looks forward to deepening this partnership.

PICTORIAL: Our Day 1 celebrations of our 20th anniversary continue this evening with a night dedicated to honouring the resilience and courage of human rights defenders across the East and Horn of Africa.
The evening will feature powerful testimonials from defenders who have stood firm in the face of adversity, sharing stories of courage, solidarity, and impact.
We will also launch our Endowment Fund and Mentorship Programme; key initiatives aimed at ensuring the sustainability, protection, and growth of human rights work for generations to come.
As we reflect on two decades of defending and promoting the work of human rights defenders, we also look ahead with renewed commitment to the future of the protection and promotion of human rights across the continent.
