Today, I had the privilege of meeting with 🇺🇳SG António Guterres, expressing my profound gratitude for his exceptional leadership during my tenure as 🇳🇴Ambassador to the United Nations

#Norway extends heartfelt thanks for the seamless cooperation, especially during our term in the #UNSC 🤝

On this #PeacebuildingDay we highlight the situation in #Colombia 🇨🇴 & the support by the United Nations
Peacebuilding Commission🇺🇳

#Norway 🇳🇴 is a proud member of the PBC.

On the 15th anniversary of the UN #LGBTICoreGroup 🌈, #Norway 🇳🇴 calls on all states around the world to decriminalize homosexuality⚖️

No person should be prosecuted for who they love❤️💛💙💚🩷

We are very disappointed over the expulsion of UN Special Representative in #Sudan Volker Perthes @perthes.bsky.social.

Norway greatly values our partnership with UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission Sudan and we are concerned with the signal this sends for cooperation between Sudan, @UN and its international partners.

Warm congratulations to my Ambassador colleagues from 🇩🇿🇸🇱🇬🇾🇰🇷🇸🇮

Speaking from experience, #Norway strongly believes that #UNSC elected members play an increasingly important role in nuancing discussions and pushing for united actions on important peace & security issues.

#UNRWA plays a key role in ensuring that the needs & rights of Palestine refugees are met.

The agency’s continued ability to serve this function remains crucial.

Ambassador Mona Juul announced today that #Norway 🇳🇴 is topping up this year’s support to a total of USD 2️⃣7️⃣ mill.

HAPPENING NOW: #UNGA has elected by acclamation H.E. Dennis Francis of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 to serve as its President for the 78th session🇺🇳

Congratulations & best wishes for a successful term👏

—🇳🇴 Amb. Mona Juul gave a statement on behalf of #WEOG & other states group.

🇳🇴 greatly values its partnership with the United Nations and SRSG Volker Perthes @perthes.bsky.social in our joint work to support the Sudanese people. We are surprised and concerned by the letter calling for SRSG Perthes' replacement. United NationsITAMS continues to have Norway's full confidence

The horrific consequences of war for civilians in urban areas prove that how wars are fought matters.

The international laws of war must be respected and people must be protected.

Civilians are #NotATarget

Now is the time to step up - not reduce - support to United Nations & NGOs who are able to #StayAndDeliver

My interview in The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/…

My team & I are greatly relieved that diplomat colleagues from #Norway & other countries have been safely evacuated from #Khartoum

At the same time we are extremely worried about all those who remain trapped
