    Very honored to have represented Sweden in the UN for over four years. Now moving on. Humble but proud to take over as EU Ambassador to UN. EU is a staunch defender of multilateralism & ready to partner with all in support of a rules based international order and a strong UN.

    The will of the people of #Myanmar was clearly expressed at the general election of 8 November. The EU condemns in the strongest terms the military coup in Myanmar & all violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms. ~🇪🇺Amb @OlofBSkoog Statement➡️eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…

    Very good briefing by NSA Gen McMaster on Afghanistan hosted by @nikkihaley at US Mission. Swedish longstanding support to peaceful Afghanistan remains firm. Security, development and human rights go hand in hand.

    A pleasant meeting to bid my farewell to @antonioguterres after many years here at the UN. The EU and UN both emerged from World Wars. Europe remains heavily invested in a well functioning UN delivering peace, sustainable development and human rights to all.

    Standing ovation for survivors of the Rwanda genocide in the UNGA. Their message : We were left alone. No women shall have to flee from violence with her newborn on her back. What happened in Rwanda cannot be undone but please ensure that it doesn’t happen again anywhere!
