Delighted to meet 🇪🇹President Sahle-Work Zewde in Addis today.

We spoke about the need for peace in Ethiopia to end awful effects of conflict especially on women and girls.

Good to meet Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Chief Commissioner Daniel Bekele. Very concerned by grave human rights situation in Ethiopia – which is still deteriorating. Especially concerned for women and girls in Tigray at this time

Young voices need to be heard. This morning, I met with Egyptian youth climate leaders - amazing people with inspiring ideas.

At #Cop27 , we must remember the energy and passion of young people, and ensure it drives us forward. @Omniaelomrani1 @Cop27P
