Great to hear US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, reaffirm US commitment to @ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative at the US Govt Ministerial on the Los Angeles Declaration on Migration & Protection. ILO will host an event with US Government on advancing fair recruitment practices.
At UNGA, I joined leaders from across the Americas to drive forward our collective efforts to respond to irregular migration and forced displacement. Together, we can address the unprecedented level of migration in our hemisphere and advance the goals of the LA Declaration.

Every woman and girl should have the opportunity to reach her full potential, without discrimination. Gender equality is not only a moral imperative but also economically sounded. We must #InvestInWomen. There is no #SocialJustice without gender equality. #IWD24.

Looking forward to working with IMF to collaborate in the Global Coalition for Social Justice on issues of common interest.
Productive meeting with @ilo Director General @GilbertFHoungbo. We discussed our recent successful collaboration on issues ranging from social protection and the impact of AI on labor markets, to how the IMF can best engage with the Global Coalition for Social Justice.
