🇲🇹 Permanent Representative to UN Geneva 🇺🇳 | Former Parliamentarian & Human rights activist | He / Him 🏳️‍🌈
Yesterday at @cern.bsky.social I had the rare chance to “dump the beam”, bringing the world’s most powerful particle stream to a safe stop.

Beyond the thrill, we discussed #Malta’s next steps with #CERN & met brilliant Maltese researchers contributing to #global #science.

What does it mean to be a #Gender #Champion? Not a title. A commitment to put #genderequality first, push for #genderparity & create #familyfriendly workplaces. Proud to be part of this movement. Who said there’s no room for #activism in #diplomacy? Happy 10yrs @intgenderchampions.bsky.social!

#Malta 🇲🇹 stands fully behind @who.int and @drtedros.who.int. The adoption of the pandemic agreement makes us all safer & better prepared, especially small island states like ours. #WHA78 #MultilateralismMatters #GlobalHealth

The @who.int #PandemicAgreement has just been adopted with no votes against. A historic moment after years of negotiations.
Global #health cooperation just took a major step forward. Well done @drtedros.who.int, #WHO team & all Member States.
Applause well deserved! #WHA78 #Multilateralism

Yesterday, our team visited the @icrc.org Museum in #Geneva. The powerful stories of those affected by conflict & natural disaster & the life-changing work of #ICRC were truly moving.

“Chacun est responsable de tout devant tout” reminds us we all share responsibility. A must-visit!

Early this morning #history was made in #Geneva: Member States reached consensus on the #PandemicAccord. A big step toward a safer, more prepared world. This proves that #multilateralism matters!

Huge thanks to all who made it happen, incl. our 🇲🇹 DPR @emilytufigno.bsky.social & all at @who.int

Just met Lech Wałęsa, an icon of peaceful resistance & democratic transformation.

He challenged us:
What values should guide Europe? What model to follow? How do we face the rise of populism?
“The sooner you agree, the better for Europe.”

Still processing it all. 10x to Geneva Diplomatic Club

We need to step up to defend #humanrights & #multilateralism not just in conference rooms but in how we work together everyday. No country, big/small can solve 2days challenges alone. Multilateralism delivers: #vaccines, #climate action, #equality. This is about our #future. #StrongerTogether

Had a very good discussion with Ambassador Haydar Ali Ahmad, PR of #Syria 🇸🇾 in Geneva on Syria’s path to #reunification, #justice, and #rebuilding.

#Malta 🇲🇹 remains committed as an honest broker, working for #peace, #security, and social #progress.

Now is not the time to point fingers but to find common ground and build on what unites us. We must defend #multilateralism and highlight its achievements. A valuable discussion with Ambassador AlaaHegazy from our #Mediterranean partner #Egypt 🇪🇬

At #UNHRC I delivered #Malta’s statement on #Afghanistan. Taliban’s #gender discrimination is unparalleled. Banning #women from medical training & redefining #childhood endangers countless lives & enables #childmarriage. We stand with Afghan women & #girls. The world must not look away. #HRC58

2day I presented my credentials to Tatiana Valovaya DG UN Geneva, as Permanent Representative of 🇲🇹 to #UnitedNations
#Geneva. I reaffirmed MT’s commitment to #multilateralism as only path for lasting #solutions. I look forward to active engagement with colleagues from UN, member states, & int. orgs
