A world free of nuclear weapons begins with ending nuclear testing. Today on #IDANT, Austria honours victims of past tests & renews its commitment to sustainable peace and security. As proud host of @CTBTO_org we call all remaining states to join the CTBT and adhere to its terms.

Deeply saddened by the devastating flash floods in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and China. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the rescue teams. Austria stands in solidarity with the affected communities.

Russia's recent attacks in #Ukraine affecting @UN_Ukraine and @RedCrossUkraine facilities are utterly unacceptable. They violate #IHL and add to the devastating civilian toll of Russia's war of aggression. Humanitarian organisations must be able to assist those most in need. @UNICEF_UA @WFPUkraine

Austria stands firmly behind the International Criminal Court. The Court is a key actor in ensuring accountability for the worst atrocity crimes and bringing justice to victims, and should be able to carry out its mandate under the Rome Statute without undue interference.

Timely first EU-Armenia #Summit, underpinning our joint strategic agenda for security, prosperity and stability based on common values. Our relations have never been closer, among them connectivity & trade, visa liberalisation dialogue, fighting #FIMI and #disinformation. (1/2)

We strongly condemn #Iran’s unprovoked missile and drone strikes against our Gulf partners and express our full solidarity with the #UAE and #Oman. These attacks have to end immediately, de-escalation and a diplomatic solution are urgently needed.

Journalists often risk their lives —especially in conflict zones. In 2025, 129 were killed. Press freedom is under threat worldwide. On #WorldPressFreedomDay we reaffirm that independent media are the cornerstone of democracy—Austria stands committed to defending them.

40 years after the #Chornobyl catastrophe, Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear energy infrastructure once again pose a grave threat to nuclear safety. We call on Russia to immediately stop these attacks and fully cooperate with @iaeaorg.
