In Mozambique, more than 600,000 people remain displaced by conflict and climate shocks. Yet, communities and local institutions here are leading with resilience and hope. I’m here to listen, learn, and strengthen the partnerships that turn recovery into lasting opportunity.

Delighted to meet State Secretary Bernd Krösser and Ambassador Antje Leendertse for high-level consultations with Germany. Together, we’re strengthening cooperation on migration governance, advancing humane, and principled solutions for people on the move.

Violence drives displacement, and too often, women and girls face even greater risks on the move. This #16DaysOfActivism, we commit to safe pathways, dignity, and protection for every woman, every migrant. Together, we can #EndGBV.

Migration and mobility are central to the @_AfricanUnion and @EU_Commission’s shared commitment to multilateralism and joint action to tackle common challenges. We join partners and states with a clear goal: to make migration work for inclusive growth and resilience. #AUEU25

From hospitals to orphanages, this week in Sudan showed what’s at stake, and what’s possible when we work together. @UNmigration and partners are delivering humanitarian support, but also investing in durable solutions for #Sudan. Recovery is a shared responsibility.

Tajikistan’s contribution to IOM’s Resilience Campaign reinforces our shared commitment to safe, humane migration. From labor mobility and border management to climate migration, Tajikistan is investing in solutions that protect lives and build resilience. Thank you. 💙

Sri Lanka is helping shape the future of migration. As one of the first Asia-Pacific contributors to IOM’s Resilience Campaign, their support strengthens crisis response, migration governance and climate preparedness. Together, we build safer pathways and stronger communities💙

In Sudan, the scale of suffering demands unity. I just met with @CarlSkau @WFP, to align our efforts: protect civilians, restore dignity, and deliver aid where it’s needed most. Together, we’re committed to solutions that match the urgency.

In Sudan, the scale of suffering is staggering: 10M people displaced, women and girls subjected to horrific violence. The world cannot look away. We must act now to protect lives and dignity. My message from Khartoum

Productive discussion today with Mr. Ahmed Osman Hamza, Wali of Khartoum, on how we can work together to restore essential services and support families returning home. With our office reopened in Khartoum, @UNmigration remains committed to helping communities rebuild.

I met women and children who fled El Fasher — walking for days, hiding from drones, carrying only their children. Our teams are doing everything they can. But without access and funding, we can’t reach those who need us most. This is a call for humanity. https://t.co/7hziar94Mg

I came to Sudan to listen. At Al Afad camp, I met families who fled Al Fasher. A mother who lost her husband and children. Girls just nine years old now displaced and traumatized. 30M people need aid. 10M are displaced. Sudan’s crisis is deepening. The world must not look away.

I’m in #Sudan, and the stories I’m hearing are horrific. What’s unfolding in El Fasher is beyond words. Civilians are trapped. Severe violations are being reported. The world must act now to protect civilians and ensure safe, sustained access to aid. https://t.co/U2uDQRiGqm

Today in Port-Sudan, I visited IOM’s warehouse, where life-saving relief items arrive before reaching communities in crisis. Stocks are dangerously low. Only 5,000 kits remain. Urgent funding is needed to keep humanitarian aid flowing.

Sudan’s communities are resilient, but they need support. I met Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Lamia Abdel Ghaffar & Foreign Minister Muhi al-Din Salem Ahmed to reaffirm IOM’s commitment. We’re advocating for more access, bridging funding gaps & standing with those rebuilding.

In Port Sudan, I met Mama Nour and the team at Shamaa Shelter. Their compassion and courage in supporting survivors of gender-based violence and trafficking, especially young mothers and girls, is deeply moving. IOM is proud to stand with them. Lifesaving care must continue.

I just arrived in Sudan, to shed light on the humanitarian crisis. Over 30 million people need help. Nearly 10 million are displaced inside the country. IOM is on the ground to support survivors, restore dignity, and push for urgent action. The world must step up.

Safety begins before the storm. In northern Viet Nam, new evacuation centers are helping families prepare — with solar power, warm meals, and a safe place to rest. Because resilience isn’t built in crisis. It’s built in community.

At @NAUSS_SA, I saw the future of leadership. These graduates are proof that when we invest in knowledge, we invest in resilience, dignity, and opportunity. Together, we’re building a model where migration and security work in harmony — for the region and beyond.

When safe, regular, and orderly migration is used as a strategic driver of solidarity, inclusion & development, we all benefit. At the #WorldSocialSummit, I'm joining leaders to turn this vision into reality, where every person on the move can contribute fully to their new home.
