While we have made considerable steps in ensuring gender balance, the goal of lasting transformation still lies ahead. I believe it is part of our responsibility to advocate for awareness and lead by example, with a hope to inspire the others. As the Ambassador of North Macedonia to the Netherlands and Permanent Representative to the OPCW and to the other multilateral organizations, I am actively advocating, supporting, cooperating and promoting gender equality in all aspects of my work, including in the multilateral setting.
