MSC provides a vital forum for dialogue on peace and security in the Middle East. At @MunSecConf in February, and through the work of our Middle East Consultation Group which I chair. I look forward to building on this work at the upcoming #MLMAlUla in Saudi Arabia.

To foster dialogue on today's global challenges, the MSC convenes debates in regions of strategic importance. Next week, we'll gather decision-makers and experts at #MLMAlUla 🇸🇦 to discuss regional dynamics, global conflicts, and shared challenges. 🔗securityconference.org/en/press/relea…

This stunning handwoven carpet is crafted by resilient women of rural centers in Syria. I admire their enduring perseverance. Regional stability must remain our priority and these women are central to it. Thank you to @HindKawabat & Syria's Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour.
