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.
- Young people must be more than beneficiaries of development. They must be partners in shaping it. Pleased to join @HAffairsAsia's #USLS2026 symposium today and reaffirm that meaningful #youth engagement means giving young people a seat at the table where decisions are made.
