On the final day of #CS81, I shared a belief: our region’s diversity holds the solutions. New United Nations ESCAP resolutions on #water & climate change nexus, urban sustainability, middle-income countries & #DigitalInclusion light the way towards a stronger, more united #AsiaPacific.

Behind every smooth Commission session like #CS81 there’s a team of dedicated professionals: the Bureau, secretariat, interpreters and United Nations ESCAP staff. Thank you for your invisible yet invaluable work in advancing cooperation across #AsiaPacific!

Addressing #MICs2025 today, I reaffirmed United Nations ESCAP’s commitment to supporting middle-income countries. Tailored financing strategies, inclusive growth and stronger #SouthSouth cooperation and partnerships are vital to accelerating sustainable development in #MICs.

Had a productive meeting with Ma. Cristina A. Roque, Secretary of Trade and Industry DTI Philippines, to strengthen collaboration between the #Philippines and United Nations ESCAP in key areas: digital economy, sustainable investment and regional #trade facilitation.

Proud to reaffirm United Nations ESCAP’s strong partnership with the #Philippines during a meeting with Enrique A. Manalo 🇵🇭, in advancing #MICs through tailored financing, inclusive growth and strengthened cooperation. We look forward to supporting ASEAN 2026 under 🇵🇭 leadership!

Constructive discussion with Arsenio Balisacan, Secretary of DEPDev Philippines (formerly NEDA), on strengthening collaboration with United Nations ESCAP in #SDG monitoring, trade analysis and socio-economic planning, leveraging tools like TINA, EPIC and LNOB to support national and regional policies.

Welcoming the adoption of the #MakatiDeclaration at the #MICs2025 Conference in #Manila, reinforcing the call at United Nations ESCAP #CS81 for tailored financing, inclusive development, regional cooperation, digital transformation, climate resilience for #MICs.

🏙️🌱 From secure housing and public services to green spaces and digital innovation, local action drives smart, inclusive transformation. At #CS81, leaders adopted new resolutions to scale this momentum across #AsiaPacific. 🔗 buff.ly/NgGR42O

#Trade today is more than the exchange of goods, it’s a driver for innovation, inclusion & sustainable development. In this climate of uncertainty, #RegionalCooperation and integration are not aspirational, but essential, I stressed at #TIEBIComm United Nations ESCAP.

Meeting with senior reps of our members big (India), small (Kiribati) & in-between (Kazakhstan) shows how vital trade, investment & innovation are for #SustDev. From women’s entrepreneurship to tourism & the private sector United Nations ESCAP supports their priorities to #LeaveNoOneBehind.

Glaciers are far more than rivers of ice — they are lifelines for humanity. At the #DushanbeGlaciersConference, I joined leaders to call for urgent action. Two billion people rely on glacier-fed rivers. We must #ActNow to protect our planet’s water towers. #Glaciers2025
