The United States welcomes the Secretary-General’s decision to appoint Luke J. Lindberg as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in Rome.
Since its founding in 1961, the United States has been WFP’s largest donor and strongest advocate. Mr. Lindberg is well positioned to uphold this legacy through reforms that strengthen the organization’s core mission, improve operational performance, and deepen partnerships with donors. He brings a distinguished record of public service, a firm commitment to accountability, and a clear understanding of the need to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches the people who depend on it most.
Mr. Lindberg’s leadership will benefit all WFP Member States, including the United States. The United States looks forward to working with him in his new role as WFP advances its mission of feeding people in need.
