A resilient future requires us to think across generations and sectors. This week's exchanges with @AARP, @SelwinHart and @giz_gmbh reinforced the need for integrated solutions to population ageing, energy transitions, climate resilience and sustainable urban development.
Good to reconnect with longstanding and new partners this week @FinanceInCommon, EFSD and @Financegovpk. We discussed the Sevilla commitment & #FICS2027 conference, climate resilience, water, disaster risk and sustainable growth.
Peace is built through the choices we make every day.
I was pleased to join @IndiainThailand in commemorating #NonViolenceDay at @UNESCAP and honouring Gandhi’s legacy by renewing our commitment to dialogue, mutual respect and cooperation.
Poverty is more than a lack of income. Our solutions must reflect that.
At #UNGA81, I called for a renewed commitment beyond 2030, using evidence and integrated policies to tackle multiple deprivations and ensure everyone can live with dignity.
Equal pay requires practical action. Pay transparency, fair workplace policies & investment in care can help close gender pay gaps.
On #EqualPayDay, let us commit to removing barriers that undervalue women’s work & make equal pay for work of equal value a reality.
A warm welcome to Saadia Altaf Qazi, the new Ambassador @PakinThailand_ and Permanent Representative of #Pakistan to @UNESCAP.
I look forward to working together on our shared priorities and advancing sustainable development and regional cooperation across Asia and the Pacific.
Lasting peace is built when women have an equal voice in shaping our societies.
At the Asia Women Leaders International Summit, I called for greater representation, economic opportunity and leadership for women to build a more inclusive and resilient Asia and the Pacific. #AWLF
A world free of cluster munitions is within our reach.
In Vientiane, I delivered UN SG @antonioguterres' call to clear contaminated land, support survivors and uphold the Convention. Decisive action is needed now to end their devastating legacy for generations to come.
The energy transition cannot wait.
At the 16th APEC Energy Ministerial Meeting, I called for deeper regional cooperation to close #SDG7 gaps, strengthen energy connectivity and turn our shared ambition into an affordable, sustainable energy future for all.
China’s energy transition shows the scale of what is possible.
In my meeting with NEA Administrator Wang Hongzhi, we explored how @UNESCAP can deepen cooperation on clean energy, regional power connectivity and South-South cooperation to accelerate #SDG7 across #AsiaPacific.

Interesting talk with @DICTgovph Assistant Minister Maria Victoria C. Castro about new Philippine laws to promote telecommunications and e-governance, along with data classification. #CICTSTI
Digital transformation brings great potential to our members: e-government services, new economic opportunities & greater inclusion.
And we have solutions to ensure it doesn’t widen divides or sow disinformation. @APCICT
A valuable exchange with @GilbertFHoungbo, DG of @ilo. The future of work is also the future of development. Advancing decent work, social protection and inclusive growth is essential to building a more resilient future across #AsiaPacific.
Deeply saddened by the devastating floods in Nepal and China. My thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones and all those affected.
This tragedy is a stark reminder that building resilience to growing climate and disaster risks must remain a shared priority.
Sand & dust storms are a challenge that extends beyond national borders.
I am pleased to launch the #Mongolia - @UNESCAP - @TCS_tweet initiative to turn regional cooperation into practical action, strengthening knowledge sharing and resilience for communities. #UNCCDCOP17
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour those who have lost their lives serving others & those who continue this vital work despite risks.
Their courage embodies @UN at its best: standing with people in their most difficult moments & working for dignity, peace and a better future.
