Wishing everyone a warm and peaceful holiday season, where the spirit of generosity embraces everyone, especially those who may be far from home and in vulnerable circumstances. May the light of compassion shine bright during this festive time.

Two years ago, a devastating fire destroyed parts of the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp. Today, I was able to cut the ribbon on the newly restored Infectious Disease Treatment Center, thanks to the generous support of the @WorldBank .

Had the pleasure of meeting with @_AfricanUnion Chairperson @AUC_MoussaFaki . We discussed how @UNmigration and the AU can work together to harness the potential of human mobility in Africa by creating more regular pathways for migrants. #DGPopeMeets

Welcome today's agreement reached by EU ambassadors to advance the Migration and Asylum Pact. @UNmigration looks forward to the adoption of a comprehensive, humane framework that brings us closer to the promise of safe, dignified and orderly migration!

Today I held an inspirational meeting with the talented team at @OIM_Mexico . Every day, we work together to protect migrants, providing safe and regular pathways – and breaking the hold of criminals who exploit those on the move.

Following the UK Supreme Court ruling on offshore asylum processing, IOM encourages States to maintain dialogue on establishing regular migration pathways and find sustainable solutions that respect the rights and dignity of migrants & asylum seekers.

Pleased to participate in the Italy-Africa conference in Rome with so many heads of States coming from Africa, and with EU and UN representatives. Improved cooperation between Europe & Africa is strongly needed to implement development policies, and create more legal pathways.

My thoughts are with people in Türkiye, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Jordan and all those affected following the deadly earthquake last night. We will be working closely with governments in the region to support those affected and help alleviate their suffering.

I wish Muslim communities around the world a peaceful and healthy month. May this be a time to honour the values of solidarity and generosity which we all so dearly need in these challenging circumstances. #RamadanMubarak
