Pleased to represent the U.S. at the G7 Development Ministerial in Italy this week. I'll meet with allies & partners to discuss our most pressing development & humanitarian challenges and showcase U.S. commitment to collaboration on 🌍 health, food security, and infrastructure.

Great to meet Thani Mohamed-Soilihi, France Diplomacy 🇫🇷🇪🇺’s Minister of State for Int’l Partnerships, during G7. As one of the U.S.’s oldest friends, 🇫🇷 is also a longstanding partner of USAID as we work to meet our shared development goals around the world.

As conflicts & climate shocks continue to drive food crises, USAID is building on 10+ years of Feed the Future investments that have led to stronger food systems, better nutrition, & greater resilience. Read my G7 remarks focused on #foodsecurity: usaid.gov/news-informati…

Japan is one of our most critical development partners in the Indo Pacific and around the 🌏. While at #G7 in Italy, I spoke with Yoshifumi Tsuge of MOFA of Japan about our expanding collaboration in humanitarian assistance, secure telecom, and inclusive development. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

On the sidelines of the #G7, I sat down with UN Development Administrator Achim Steiner to discuss our shared priorities around the world—including best practices to advance cost effectiveness in #development to deliver the greatest impact possible with each dollar we spend.

When I travel the number one request from our partners is support for trade, investment, & infrastructure. Grateful to Italy for a strong focus on the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment during its G7 presidency. Read my #PGI remarks: usaid.gov/news-informati…
