Last night, the UN General Assembly elected five non-permanent members of the Security Council for a two-year term - beginning on 1 January 2027 : Austria 🇦🇹 Portugal 🇵🇹 Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬

At the #Lenacapavir rollout in South Africa, @anneshongwe said it: 📌 150,000 new HIV infections in 2024, 59% among women & girls 📌 Reaching 1M people could prevent 30,000 of those The rollout must be bolder and South Africa is leading by prioritising young women & girls. 👏🏿

Congratulations to #Zimbabwe on its election as the African Group's Non-Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council (hashtag#UNSC) for the 2027–2028 term. Zimbabwe will join fellow African members #Somalia (2025–2026), the Democratic Republic of the Congo #DRC (2026–2027), and #Liberia (2026–2027) in representing the continent's interests at one of the world's most important peace and security decision-making bodies. As Africa strengthens its presence on the Council, the continent remains united behind the #EzulwiniConsensus and the #SirteDeclaration the African Union's longstanding common position calling for a reformed Security Council that includes at least two permanent African seats with full veto rights and five non-permanent seats. Africa is the only region without permanent representation on the Council despite being a central stakeholder in many of the issues before it. #Agenda2063

Thank you to the African Union, fellow African Member States and the international community for the support and confidence in Zimbabwe's election to the United Nations Security Council for the 2027–2028 term. Zimbabwe is honoured to serve in advancing peace, security, sustainable development, and multilateral cooperation. We remain committed to amplifying Africa's voice on the global stage and to supporting the continent's common position on United Nations reform, as articulated in the Ezulwini Consensus and Sirte Declaration. We look forward to working constructively with all Member States in promoting international peace, security, and the interests of Africa and the broader international community.

Today in South Africa, the unimaginable became real: the official rollout of #Lenacapavir, a long-acting injectable HIV prevention tool. But as powerful as it is, @anneshongwe reminded us that it is not a silver bullet on its own but a part of a bigger fight to #endAIDS.

Congratulations to South Africa on the launch of lenacapavir, the twice-yearly injectable PrEP  – a landmark moment for HIV prevention and global health equity. South Africa is showing just how fast this innovation can reach communities most affected by HIV. The @GlobalFund is proud to be a partner in this effort.

📝 NEW: UN Secretary-General's latest report on HIV/AIDS. A pathway to end AIDS by 2030 remains open. But progress is under pressure from funding cuts, inequality and humanitarian crises. Now is the moment for renewed global commitment. #UnitedToEndAIDS unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

1.3 million people acquired HIV last year and it's preventable: the science and tools exist! The #GlobalAIDSStrategy2031 sets a target of 90% of people in need accessing HIV prevention options by 2030. 👉🏿unaids.org/en/2026-2031-glob…
