It was a pleasure to host @INTGenderChamps discussion. On the agenda: AI. "The world we know has a gender equality problem. AI mirrors the gender bias in our society, often associating women with subservient roles while linking men to executive & scientific careers" 🇪🇺Amb Potzel.

Ambassador Ioannis Ghikas, PR of Greece in Geneva, announced Greece's bid to host the first Philosophers' Dialogue of the #GlobalAllianceForHumanRights. The announcement was made today at the official launch of the Alliance, which 🇬🇷Greece fully supports, because in these dark times of authoritarianism and war, we need initiatives that mobilize and empower people and ensure no one feels alone in the struggle for a more equitable future. The Global Alliance for Human Rights has officially launched. Enough watching, time to act. #ImagineDialogueAct #HumanRights #GlobalAlliance #OHCHR

At today's International Gender Champions (@INTGenderChamps) meeting in Geneva, hosted by @EU_UNGeneva, we discussed how digital transformation and AI can drive inclusion rather than deepen existing inequalities — and what that means as Geneva prepares to host key conversations on AI governance, including the @AIforGood Global Summit. The meeting also marked the transition of the Global Board leadership, with @UNECE Executive Secretary @Tatiana_Molcean succeeding @IPUparliament Secretary General @MartinChungong. #GenderEquality #DigitalInclusion #WomenInTech

Greece 🇬🇷 will join the IMF’s Southeast Europe Technical Assistance Center SEETAC as a partner in capacity development work. The IMF’s 18th regional center will deliver technical assistance to Western Balkan countries.
Thank you, Greece, for becoming the newest partner of our capacity development work. As I told FM @Pierrakakis, Greece has come a long way: from a country needing support to now able to help others. It will contribute to SEETAC, strengthening economic institutions in SE Europe.

Dialogue is not only a tool of multilateralism, it is one of its founding principles. The International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations was marked in Geneva through a high-level discussion organized by the Permanent Mission of China in Geneva (@ChinaMissionGva) and hosted by the World Meteorological Organization (@WMO), under the theme “Equal Dialogue among Civilizations for a Better Future through Multilateral Cooperation”. The event brought together Member States, international organizations and academic institutions. In a world facing growing divisions and mistrust, dialogue remains essential to building understanding, trust and peaceful cooperation. #DialogueAmongCivilizations #Multilateralism #Geneva #UnitedNations
