ANDORRA LA VELLA, 28 July 2022 - OSCE Secretary Genera Helga Maria Schmid visited Andorra on 27 July to engage in policy discussions with Andorran youth representatives and attend the closing event of the “OSCE Debating Perspectives 20-30 Roadshow.” During a lecture at the Roadshow, the Secretary General focused on the OSCE’s vital role to promote comprehensive security including the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms. She highlighted the crucial role of youth in promoting democracy, and called for increased efforts to empower women and enable their equal participation, including in peace processes.

The Secretary General also gave a briefing on the OSCE’s efforts to address the devastating impacts of Russia’s war against Ukraine. 

“The OSCE and Andorra share common priorities: whether it is addressing the security-related impacts of climate change, empowering women and youth, or promoting quality education, Andorra’s support for the OSCE maximizes our collective impact. Andorra is leading by example and this can greatly contribute to shaping regional cooperation for lasting peace and security,” said Schmid. “My hope is that this event today will improve the understanding of the Organization among young generations and the benefits that the OSCE brings to Andorran citizens.”

The sentiment was echoed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Maria Ubach Font who also recognized the importance of collaboration in a meeting with Schmid.

“Andorra strongly supports multilateralism based on dialogue and cooperation,” said Minister Ubach Font. “We particularly look forward to feeling the cooperation between Andorra and the OSCE on issues related to education and effective responses for fighting climate change.”

Schmid also met the Head of Government of the Principality of Andorra; the Minister of Social Affairs, Youth and Equality; and Minister of Education and Higher Education, as well as the Andorran Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. Schmid’s visit marked the first OSCE official visit to Andorra since the country became an OSCE participating State in 1996.

At the end of the Roadshow, the young participants presented recommendations for a safer future to Secretary General Schmid and Minister Maria Ubach Font, identifying gender equality, youth political participation, climate change and inclusive education as key priorities.

“These ideas are great examples of how youth can contribute to democracy and security. Amplifying youth voices is not just the right thing to do. Our collective efforts can be sustainable only if co-designed through a genuine dialogue with young generations. I will take with me these recommendations to Vienna to inform our work."
