As my tenure at @USUN comes to an end, I am proud of my team’s many accomplishments over the past three years. We’ve advanced U.S. interests, strengthened the #UN, and demonstrated the importance of multilateralism. Some final thoughts ⬇️

With U.S. support, the #UN today adopted a fiscally responsible budget for 2025 that: ✔️Provides new funding for the Resident Coordinator system and Pact for the Future implementation ✔️Ensures greater spending transparency ✔️Will bring down staff compensation costs

Enjoyed catching up with old friend @fgorordo, U.S. Alternate Executive Director of @WorldBank, to discuss U.S. proposals to reform the international financial institutions. We’ve made much progress, but there’s more work to do.

The U.S. supports reform of the UN Security Council to make the council more representative. This week, I reiterated some elements of our proposal.

On #UNDay, I’m reposting one of my favorite photos - from the day that the UN adopted the first-ever resolution on #AI. This U.S.-sponsored resolution sets out global norms for how this transformative technology will be used. Just one small example of why the UN matters.

Today, on #UNDay, we celebrate the United States’ commitment to global cooperation through the @UN. From advancing human rights to driving sustainable development, 🇺🇸 is proud to partner with the UN to build a better, more prosperous world for all. https://t.co/3brZfmpwE3
