🇪🇺Statement by Hedda Samson ➡️eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…

Monthly Happy Hour tradition kicks off at our 🇪🇺 EU Delegation in 🍎 NYC!
My brave office took the lead and knocked it out of the park with our inaugural theme: … Valentines Love 💝!
What an inspired way to end one more action-packed week here at the 🇺🇳 United Nations 🇪🇺EU at UN-NY !

The 🇪🇺EU is proud to partner with UN Development in 140 countries around the world!

We are deeply committed to our joint work to eradicate poverty, and to promote sustainable development and human dignity everywhere.

Thank you for the kind shout-out!

🇺🇦Ukraine can count on the 🇪🇺EU’s support, and everyone else’s who stands up for international law and the 🇺🇳UN Charter in the face of naked aggression.

Nearing 2 yrs of Russia’s neocolonialist invasion, great to host Sergiy Kyslytsya 🇺🇦 UKR Mission to the UN today at our EU Heads of Mission.

Funding and the sustained attention of the international community are critical to not lose a generation of children to the consequences of conflict.

Today, the 🇪🇺EU, 🇺🇳UNICEF and 🇧🇪Belgium co-organized a meeting to put a spotlight on #ChildrenInCrisis in 🇸🇩Sudan and 🇨🇩DRC.

Both science & gender equality are vital for achieving the #SDGs & peace & security in particular. The EU is committed to advancing women’s leadership in science & making it more inclusive to reach our #GlobalGoals .
