He warned that ongoing insecurity threatens lives, undermines stability, and stalls progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Speaking at the 2026 Oslo Forum, Amb. Tuggar highlighted the power of preventive diplomacy and sustained dialogue. He praised the forum’s role in uniting mediators, policymakers, and stakeholders to forge practical pathways to peace. The annual gathering, hosted by Norway’s Foreign Affairs Minister alongside the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, drew over 150 mediators, conflict parties, and experts.
