Today, we welcome Sabrina Dallafior as the new Director-General of the OPCW.
We look forward to working together and wish you all the success in the years ahead!
Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for me.
Walking through the doors of the @OPCW as Director-General for the first time was a reminder that this Organisation's greatest strength is its people.
I am inspired by the dedication and professionalism of the Technical Secretariat and excited to begin listening, learning, and working together to build on the OPCW’s achievements.

Congratulations to 🇨🇭 Switzerland’s @SpiezLab on its 100th anniversary: for more than a century, the Lab has advanced science in service of public protection, including important work in radiation protection and nuclear safety.
Joined the anniversary ceremony hosted by @SwissGov’s Martin Pfister, and had the honour of renewing its designation as an @IAEAorg Collaborating Centre, a role it has held since 2016.
Through its expertise, @SpiezLab supports the Agency with missions abroad and laboratory work, continuing to make key contributions to global nuclear safety and to our shared goal of protecting people and the environment. I look forward to many more years of close collaboration with the Lab and Director Marc Cadisch.
