I welcome agreement on the final document for the 4th Int'l Conference on Financing for Development! In a time when multilateralism is under pressure, this gives hope. It shows that global cooperation can deliver and that we have a path forward on development finance. #FfD4

To support countries in their efforts to fund development & fight poverty, tax revenues must be increased. Since 2015, 🇳🇴 has more than doubled its support to help building better tax systems. At #FFD4 Åsmund Aukrust signed 3 agreements. ➡️ regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/the…

30 years have passed since the Srebrenica genocide. More than 8000 Bosnian men & boys were massacred in the worst atrocity on European soil since #WW2. Today, we honor victims and survivors. Norway remains committed to prevent genocide & fight impunity. #NeverAgain #Srebrenica30

The 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica is not only a moment of reflection. It is a call to vigilance & action. At a time when hate speech, denial & division are gaining ground, we must stand firm for truth & justice.

I commend President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the MPs of the Verkhovna Rada for resolute action this last week in ensuring the independence of key anti-corruption agencies. Ukrainian citizens, its strong civil society and Ukraine's partners spoke clearly, and you listened.
