Oggi all’#ONU celebriamo la prima Giornata dell’Italofonia. Una lingua non è solo un insieme di parole: è un modo di vedere l’altro e di riconoscerne l’umanità. In un mondo diviso, servono lingue che creano ponti, non muri. «L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle»

🎥 In #Luxembourg, @unfpachief sat down with young people to hear directly what they're facing online. When young people help shape it, we can create a digital world that is inclusive, safe, and empowering for everyone.

Delighted to receive my younger sister, @UNFPA ED, Dr. Diene Keita @unfpachief, and her team. Focused on global economic challenges including demographics and their impact on global growth but also discussed emerging opportunities and how multilateral institutions can better reform to seize these opportunities.

Luxembourg’s consistent, principled support for #SRHR and LGBTQI+ rights makes a difference globally. With Minister H.E. @Xavier_Bettel, we reinforced our shared commitment to human rights — and to translating that commitment into action across @UNFPA’s mandate.
