An honour to meet the new UNHCR, Barham Salih.
#UNHCR is a trusted partner in implementing #HumanitarianAid, addressing global refugee & displacement challenges. Supporting people in need as close to their home as possible is a humanitarian necessity — @unhcr.org’s work is key.

5 years ago, the #TPNW established a prohibition of #nuclearweapons due to their unacceptable humanitarian consequences + risks. Moving away from #nuclearweapons is today more urgent amid geopolitical tensions and even higher nuclear risks.

Glad to do this with the Mexican Presidency, a Country with which Austria has cooperated very closely on disarmament issues
Today in 1987, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the first to ever require verifiable elimination of an entire class of weapons (missiles only, not nuclear warheads).
Welcome among the #INTGenderChampions in Geneva, Ambassador Alexander Kmentt of Austria to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva!

Today Ambassador Alexander KMENTT (@akmentt.bsky.social) 🇦🇹 handed over his credentials to the President of the Conference on Disarmament, Ambassador Francisca E. MÉNDEZ ESCOBAR 🇲🇽.
We thank Mexico and look forward to working with Mongolia as the incoming presidency from 1 January 2026 🤝
5 years after the #TPNW entered into force, the following still holds true: nuclear weapons do not protect us, they endanger our existence. Credible steps towards nuclear disarmament are urgent. The #TPNW, co-initiated by AT, leads the way to a world without nuclear weapons.
