When we get migration right, everyone stands to benefit.
Good discussion with Dr. Khalilur Rahman, President of the 81st UN General Assembly, on practical ways @UNmigration, @UN_PGA and Member States can work together.
The Humanitarian Reset must help us deliver better for people in crisis.

It’s an honor to join the lifesaving work of this organization and the people behind it.

Understanding migration starts with reliable data.
IOM’s global presence gives us a unique view of how and why people move, and what they need along the way.
We turn that knowledge into evidence governments and partners can use to make better decisions.

U.S. Mission Geneva joined IOM and fellow donor countries in Egypt to see firsthand how partners are responding to one of the region’s most dynamic migration landscapes. From supporting refugees and host communities to strengthening safe, regular migration pathways, the visit highlighted what’s possible when we work together across borders to meet shared challenges.
Good discussion with Minister of State @KVSinghMPGonda on strengthening the partnership between IOM and India.
India’s leadership on skills and mobility creates important opportunities to expand safe, regular pathways that benefit people, communities and economies.
Skills can open doors, but mobility must be safe and work for people.

Heartbreaking news from #Djibouti. 139 souls lost at sea, children among them. 86 still missing.
