An Evening with His Excellency Ambassador Samuel Žbogar, Permanent Representative of Slovenia to the United Nations

In December 2025, Slovenia completed its two-year term on the United Nations Security Council—participating in 558 formal meetings and 238 consultations of the Security Council, and so much more. Throughout its term, Slovenia addressed the most pressing issues, upheld its values, and shared its expertise globally to maintain international peace and security.

More recently, in its final month as a member of the UN Security Council, Slovenia held the Presidency for the second time. A visit to Syria and Lebanon was on the agenda, as well as topics related to Bosnia, Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, and others. At the helm is Ambassador Samuel Žbogar, who brings a wealth of policy knowledge and experience to the table. There may be few others with such timely insights on global affairs that have recently dominated the headlines.

In addition to his term in the Security Council, Ambassador Žbogar has had an impressive diplomatic career. He has served as Slovenia's Foreign Minister, Deputy Foreign Minister, Ambassador to the US, and Head of the EU Delegation to Kosovo and North Macedonia.

Join us as His Excellency Ambassador Žbogar sits down with CCWA's Marti Flacks and reflects on Slovenia's tenure on the UN Security Council, the state of global affairs, and more.
