At #HLPF2025, in this #Beijing30 year, I joined @EESC_President in signing a landmark declaration to advance global #GenderEquality. Our pledge is a world where #SDG5 is realized & every woman and girl lives free from violence, fear and inequality, fully able to lead and thrive.

Proud to sign the Joint Presidential Declaration with @UN_WOMEN & @unwomenchief at the #HLPF in New York. Together, we commit to advancing women’s rights, fighting gender-based violence & ensuring no woman or girl is left behind. Read it here➡️ europa.eu/!QCpWwD

It is a great honour to meet with @UN SG @antonioguterres at #HLPF2025. I deeply admire his commitment to multilateralism, a rules based order and international law. At the @EU_EESC we follow this approach in our work for the #SDGs. Looking forward to continued collaboration.

A historic moment for #GenderEquality! Our Joint Declaration with @unwomenchief is a clear message that gender equality must be at the core of global policy and democratic resilience. #HLPF2025 @EESC_President

At #HLPF2025, we teamed up with @Europarl_EN to put youth at the heart of the global sustainable development agenda. Young people are leading change, driving innovation & demanding accountability. Their voices must be heard, at every level of decision-making. #Youth2030

Powerful opening by SG @antonioguterres at #HLPF2025, calling for renewed and stronger engagement on the #SDGs. Over 2 billion people are left behind, excluded from decent work. I fully agree – #SDG8 on decent work and inclusive growth must be a top priority.
