#SafetyOfJournalists and concrete plans for this year were central to my recent discussions with counterparts. Constructive dialogue, cooperation and respect for principles & commitments are essential for advancing #MediaFreedom, a key pillar of democracy and security.

Looking back at a memorable event at the World Press Exhibition at Château de Prangins.

We look forward to continued collaboration with the human rights community! 🤝
