UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of @UNESCAP

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.

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.

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

AI is already transforming our societies. The choice is how we shape that change. We must bridge divides & expand opportunity. Through @UNESCAP's #CICTSTI, countries should strengthen regional cooperation & shape a future where innovation delivers benefits for all.

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.

❓️ 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. Explore the latest insights in #SDGProgress 👇 bit.ly/SDGProgress2026 #APFSD
