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 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.

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.

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.

❓️ How close is #AsiaPacific to a sustainable future?
Progress has been made since 2015, but none of the 17 #SDGs are fully on track.
⏳ With 2030 approaching, faster action is needed.
