Honoured to assume the Presidency of #ECOSOC. I am deeply grateful for the trust & confidence placed in Algeria and in me by the African Group & all UN Member States. I look forward to serving as President with dedication, advancing multilateralism, cooperation, and solidarity throughout my tenure.

On International Women’s Day 2026 - #IWD2026, women’s rights mean nothing if we cannot defend them. Women and girls have just 64% of the legal rights of men. When justice fails, women pay the price. Without justice, rights are just words. With justice, rights become power. #ForAllWomenAndGirls
