🇪🇺 Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis @EUAmbUN

On this #WomeninDiplomacy Day, I celebrate the 29 exceptional women of the 🇪🇺EU Delegation in New York, who comprise 50% of all our diplomats & staff and dedicate themselves, every day, to bettering lives through international cooperation 🌍 and 🇺🇳@UN partnership. 🙏💪

Good exchange with UN Secretary-General candidate María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés. 🇪🇺EU PRs discussed her vision for the future of the @UN, including peace & security, sustainable development, human rights & UN reform. Timely discussion as the SG selection process moves forward.

We urge all UNSC members to ensure that Russia's leadership accepts a ceasefire and engages in good faith. Enough is enough. The time for a ceasefire is now. ~🇪🇺@EUAmbUN Lambrinidinis on peace & security in #Ukraine ➡️eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…

Last week, had the pleasure to meet with the heads of @UNDP Alexander de Croo, @UNOPS Jorge Moreira, and @WFP Carl Skau, to discuss the 🇪🇺EU’s leading support to the 🇺🇳UN’s development & humanitarian work, and UN reforms for stronger delivery to people on the ground.

Warm congratulations to H.E. Khalilur Rahman of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 on his election as the 81st President of the UN General Assembly. The 🇪🇺 EU looks forward to working with you to strengthen multilateralism and jointly advance the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.

Back on the saddle and over the George Washington bridge, on a beautiful NY day, with old law school buddy Jonathan, fighting off a nasty case of the jet lag — bliss!

🇪🇺Amb. Lambrinidis on Russia’s threats against Latvia during Ukraine #UNSC debate: “Russia’s threatening a UNSC member and an EU member state in this Chamber reveals a desperate aggressor that has abandoned all pretence of reason, measure, modesty or dignity.”

Warm thanks to the 🇺🇳UN community celebrating #EuropeDay 2026 with us! The 🇪🇺EU @UN fosters solidarity & partnerships, today as important than ever. Here's to many more decades of working together for a better world! 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇳

EU Foreign Ministers just gave the go-ahead to sanction Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians. They also agreed new sanctions on leading Hamas figures. It was high time we move from deadlock to delivery. Extremisms and violence carry consequences.

It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

What a wonderful #EuropeDay at the @EUCouncil ! Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Europe’s unity, diversity, and shared future. And to all the Council staff who made this day a great success.

A … Diplomatic Jazz Summit to celebrate the legendary Ron Carter, performing live on his 89th birthday! With jazz aficionados @CherdchaiC Chaivaivid of Thailand🇹🇭; Mohamed Abushahab of the United Arab Emirates🇦🇪; and our band leader, Ricklef Beutin @GermanAmbUN_NY🇩🇪

🇪🇺 Joined today’s UN stakeout reaffirming support for UNSC Res 2817 & condemning Iran’s actions. Closure of Strait of Hormuz threatens global security, trade & energy markets. Navigational freedoms must be upheld—no unlawful restrictions or tolls. Urgent reopening is essential.

The 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is excellent news. It must now be implemented and verified on the ground. It is essential that Israel and Lebanon engage in meaningful negotiations that deliver concrete results - for the sake of their peoples and the prospect of a sustainable peace. The EU will continue to support Lebanon. Empowering the authorities to disarm Hezbollah is the only sustainable solution for restoring Lebanon’s stability.

I welcome the announced 10 day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, mediated by President Trump. This is a relief, as this conflict has already claimed far too many lives. Now, we need not just a temporary pause, but a path to permanent peace. Europe will continue to call for the full respect of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. And we will keep supporting the Lebanese people through substantial humanitarian aid.

The EU welcomes that Serbia and Kosovo remain engaged in the EU-facilitated Dialogue. Progress on normalisation of their relations remains critical for the European path of both Kosovo and Serbia. 🇪🇺EU Statement: eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…

Peacekeepers, protected under int'l law, must never be the target of attacks. Today, @EUAmbUN joins troop-contributing countries to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon to condemn persistent attacks against @UNIFIL_ & express deep concerns over the humanitarian situation in Lebanon.
