#Pacific Island urban areas are among the fastest growing in the world. United Nations ESCAP stands with Small Pacific Island States #SIDS in their journey toward sustainable urban development by building resilience against climate change, disasters and other threats. #CS81



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.

#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.


Honoured to meet President Emomali Rahmon in Dushanbe ahead of the High-Level International Conference on Glacier Conservation. #Glaciers2025 We discussed United Nations ESCAP’s partnership with #Tajikistan on climate, water, connectivity, green growth & the #2030Agenda.



🌊 Two possible futures. One choice. The Global #PlasticsTreaty shapes tomorrow’s ocean. 🌐 In #AsiaPacific, United Nations ESCAP supports the #30x30 target of conserving 30% of land and sea by 2030. #UNOC3 is the moment to act. 🔗 buff.ly/Cjvpbhk #SaveOurOcean


Dialogue is central to United Nations ESCAP’s mission. It informs inclusive, sustainable development & strengthens our commitment to #LeaveNoOneBehind I am glad that the commemoration of the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations provided a space for exchange & solidarity. #IDDC
