Important meeting with @Denys_Shmyhal to discuss our joint work on Ukraine’s future energy strategy. Deploying the country's resource endowment, implementing business reforms, and aligning with the EU energy market agenda will build resilience and drive prosperity.

Great discussions at the @WorldBankGroup #FragilityForum. I joined @DMiliband and @bjerde_anna to discuss the impact of stronger partnerships in times of crisis. With our local partners, we reach people further and faster, and ensure our support lasts longer than our presence.

Delighted to be included again in @dagensindustri’s 2026 list of most powerful women. A meaningful recognition alongside inspiring leaders I admire and of @WorldBankGroup’s work on growth and jobs in the developing world as the most effective way to lift people out of poverty.
