Grateful for the opportunity to engage the donor community in Addis 🇪🇹 this week ahead of #AUSummit2026 and to highlight the important milestones ahead for the HIV response and @UNAIDS in 2026, including the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS. We’ll be counting on your support for an ambitious Political Declaration—one that protects the gains made, safeguards and strengthens countries' sustainability of the HIV response, and accelerates progress toward ending AIDS by 2030. #EndAIDS
Productive discussions with key donors on the UN80 reforms and what they mean for the future of multilateral action. I appreciated the strong commitment to multilateralism and the support for safeguarding @UNAIDS’ essential functions and especially the engagement of civil society at a time of uncertainty and transition. Thank you for staying close to UNAIDS and for your continued support as we advance our transformation to ensure that every country has the evidence, partnerships, and capacity needed to #endAIDS. #AUSummit

The ongoing violence against civilians in Sudan is alarming. DK & 25 countries condemn the atrocities and call for immediate cessation. Accountability must be upheld. Parties must respect IHL, ensure unimpeded humanitarian access and agree to a ceasefire. regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/fe…
