🔄 As Ukraine and Syria look ahead to future recovery from conflict, diasporas and returnees stand to play a vital role in rebuilding social and economic systems once conditions allow for safe and voluntary return. Their skills, networks, and engagement will be essential for long-term reconstruction and resilience. 🎥 Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa underlined last October the importance of sustaining strong connections with Ukrainians abroad and recognising diasporas as a strategic asset for recovery and reconstruction, noting: "It is important that we create a global space for Ukrainians where every Ukrainian can stay connected to Ukraine and transfer skills and expertise, because all Ukrainians abroad have unique expertise right now. [...] They are our asset. It is a very important asset that Ukraine has such a vibrant Ukrainian community." This reflection was part of the broader exchanges at the Vienna Migration Conference 2025 (VMC2025), held last October, contributing to ongoing policy reflection and cooperation. 🔗 Explore all six conference takeaways to revisit key discussions from VMC2025 that will continue to be relevant for migration policy and practice: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFRwZ0twbG9GZW1tN3k2RFBKRmE1OWVTYUxXQXxBQ3Jtc0treXRQa2h0QmpsSUZJWVRtUEw5SGRIU2ZFaXdiUm8yTDFTQVNjVC1TbUVVVVI3blJxYTYxdTBkem53M1RLWjAyUEtJdTJTWGs3NWNHOUoyNkJoRXIzUi1tamZIdHJCZ3ZvMW55Z3JVV1Q5OUU0MzY5TQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icmpd.org%2Fblog%2F2026%2F6-takeaways-on-advancing-migration-governance-in-a-shifting-world&v=tJpnOiyr64w #ViennaMigrationConference #icmpd #migration #migrationtrends 🔗 Find information on the VMC at: https://vienna-migration-conference.org/ 🎥 View the VMC2025 session recordings at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJsESaU5Awk&list=PLXxzWkiXihuc5qMAL51rIoB0Gcxis2EZU&index=1 🌐 Follow the ICMPD Policy & Research LinkedIn page: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbW90QV91UUY4eGc3ajFZZmhCZGItVUJheE9qUXxBQ3Jtc0tuUUY5bG9YVFRjSEdHWHNmWGZkSUtiT01GemdoZV9iTzJTeHFtZFVmR2ZIeC13aDh3ek81TS1CRmwwU3d2U3RtN0JfUmJWbnlSVWUtX3lQMnNDRW9WeXZGWTVlbHkzSGxYc2ZFb2ZZZFZXRUhhMkhnVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fshowcase%2Ficmpd-policy-and-research%2F&v=tJpnOiyr64w 📧 Subscribe to the ICMPD Policy Newsflash to receive our latest policy insights via email: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXpab1ZPbUE2NWM3SFU4ZzFGcGg1Q3oxYVlJZ3xBQ3Jtc0tscnYwUTVXT0JtdWl5QnNWMmU4N1NXWXV3TVpnYkhDZEZIOXduMm1mdm1PVmpvMXg5Wi1paTZhZE8yR3JBZEpkUlhuS3NqS2gxUjlabDVMdmhuNy1qaXV5aDJBbTkyZHd5cjE0WGw0LThZckZVdFoxSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpolicyupdates.icmpd.org%2Ffl%2Fbc833017-5268-4cf9-a241-f2d69fc60bd2%2F&v=tJpnOiyr64w 🔗 Learn more about ICMPD's work at: https://www.icmpd.org/
