Ladies and Gentlemen,Today, on World Refugee Day, we come together to honour the courage and resilience of millions of refugees worldwide. Each refugee carries a story of survival, loss, and hope. They are not just numbers; they are mothers, fathers, children, and dreamers who have been forced to leave everything behind in search of safety.
Our responsibility is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for refugees. By offering them a chance to rebuild their lives, we enrich our communities with their talents, perspectives, and cultures. Let us remember that empathy and solidarity can transform despair into hope.
As we reflect on the challenges faced by refugees, let us commit to action—advocating for policies that protect their rights and supporting organisations that provide critical assistance. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where every refugee finds safety, dignity, and opportunity. Thank you.
