Addressed the Group of Friends of Youth and Security.
Young people are not waiting to shape the future - they are already shaping the present, and their ideas and expertise make the OSCE and our security stronger.
It was a pleasure to welcome Ambassador Kestutis Kudzmanas and receive his credentials as the new Permanent Representative of Lithuania 🇱🇹 to the @OSCE.

In my remarks at #GenevaPeaceForum in Vienna, I underscored a simple reality: at a time of global fragmentation, we still need a space where we can collectively engage on the most pressing security challenges facing Europe. That platform is, and remains, the OSCE.
Glad to host Saida Mirziyoyeva @SMirziyoyeva, Head of the Administration of the President of 🇺🇿 in Vienna, to follow up to my recent visit to Tashkent and advance pragmatic co-operation with Uzbekistan, Central Asia and beyond
Had a good exchange with 🇹🇭 Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister @SihasakPh in Bangkok. Thanked Minister for hosting this year's Conference. Thailand has been an invaluable Asian Partner of the OSCE for 26 years.
Good discussion with 🇺🇿President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on strengthening the OSCE’s long-standing partnership with Uzbekistan and working together to advancing regional dialogue and practical co-operation across Central Asia and beyond.
I met and thanked @OSCE_pcuz colleagues for their commitment and their hard work in supporting cooperation and delivering concrete results across Uzbekistan.
Productive exchange with Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin @MOFA_Tajikistan. @OSCE fully committed to continue supporting Tajikistan on shared priorities, from border management to water.
We underlined OSCE support for direct dialogue and joint solutions to everyday issues, in the interest of people on both banks. The OSCE will continue to work toward long-term settlement and stability.
Constructive discussions with @ignaziocassis@MihaiPopsoi & @Alain_Berset in Chisinau on the margins of the 135th CoE CoM meeting.
We focused on effective multilateralism and leveraging complementary strengths of the @OSCE and @CoE to address today’s challenges across Europe.
