The lives of millions of people depend directly on the ocean, and the lives of all beings inhabiting this planet are interconnected with it. I am pleased to celebrate this day with the launch of the comic book adaptation for children and youth of my report, Ocean and Human Rights

Happy World Oceans Day! May this day help us better understand the world’s largest biome, an essential part of the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

Since the advent of the new constitution, floor crossing has been one of the key causes of political instability in the Maldives. From the upheavals of 2011–2012 under President Nasheed’s administration to the infamous 12 defectors under President Yameen’s administration, parliamentarians have been bought and sold at the whim of those with the resources to do so. For the Maldives to reach the status of a mature democracy, we must ban floor crossing, as it breaks public trust in elected representatives and only leads to an endless cycle of instability. This is the way forward for a better tomorrow.

US Deputy Secretary Landau and Mauritius Foreign Minister Ramful followed up on their September 2025 meeting today. They discussed "...the vital importance of the facility on Diego Garcia to security in the region."

Warm congratulations to Ambassador Aishath Shaan Shakir on presenting credentials to the King of Sweden, His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf, as the Non-Resident Ambassador of the Maldives to Sweden. I am confident that the close relations between the Maldives and Sweden will be further strengthened during her tenure. @SwedeninIndia @SweMFA

I attended the National Day reception at the Embassy of Bangladesh to speak about our bilateral relations. Today, the U.S.-Bangladesh relationship matters more than ever.

A productive meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation of Rwanda @onduhungirehe this evening. Our conversation focused on taking forward our economic and digital cooperation. 🇮🇳 🇷🇼

Everything must be done to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East. I call on all sides to strictly uphold their obligations under international law, including the @UN Charter, protect civilians & ensure nuclear safety. Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.

I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today. The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security. These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world. Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations. The @UN Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.

I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.   All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”   I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.   I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.

"Our family of nations is home to one third of humanity and human rights are our bedrock." At the high-level segment of #HRC61, @SGCommonwealth reaffirmed our commitment to defend civic space, protect democratic integrity & advance human dignity. Watch her statement ⬇️ #CommonwealthHRU | @UN_HRC
