A big thank you to the farmers of #SriLanka !

Thank you Hon. M U M Ali Sabry for a productive discussion. Food and Agriculture Organization's APRC is a key opportunity for #SriLanka to showcase its resilience and advocate for key investments to ensure food security for Sri Lanka and the Asia-Pacific region.

Honoured to meet with the new UK HC to #SriLanka, Andrew Patrick. UK in Sri Lanka 🇬🇧🇱🇰 is a vital partner, supporting Food and Agriculture Organization's work to boost #foodsecurity for vulnerable #fishers. Partnerships are vital to tackle food security challenges. Looking forward to productive discussions ahead.

Inspiring !!

Rolling into a big week at Food and Agriculture Organization! We're hosting... ✔️ two back-to-back global conferences with #AgriculturalMechanization & sustainable livestock management at center stage ✔️ a one-of-a-kind exhibition of ag machinery & equipment of all functions, sizes and scale!

But, every farmer spoke to me about WATER! And the lack of it for their crops, animals & families... Struck by drought and occasionally by floods, there are no climate crisis skeptics in #Afghanistan. This is not just a humanitarian crisis... at-scale adaptation is required!

#NoExcuse4Violence ! As the Food and Agriculture Organization #SriLanka Representative, I am proud to walk in solidarity with the United Nations and partners during the #16DaysOfActivism against Gender-Based Violence. Together we can create a 🌎 free from fear and empower every woman and girl to thrive. #FAO4Equality

Just back from European Humanitarian Forum. #EHF2024 also coincided w/release of new IPC report on imminent famine in Gaza…a stark reminder of extensive global food insecurity. Important discussions w/#EU officials, NGOs & media on prioritizing agriculture in our responses.

Happy to kick start our latest initiative w/ Embassy of Japan in Sri Lanka（在スリランカ日本国大使館) and Min of #Fisheries, empowering #SriLanka's inland fisheries and rural communities! With a grant of US$ 3M we're committed to strengthening the food security, resilience, and livelihoods of fisherfolk #FisheriesFortifySL

Honored to be a part of historic centennial #WorldSeed2024 featuring 🇳🇱 King Willem-Alexander. Together, we have a BIG responsibility to get quality seeds that are both affordable and adapted in the hands of farmers. Seed security is food security!

'There are people so hungry, God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.' This #GandhiJayanti as we reflect on Mahatma Gandhi's vision of a just and equitable world let us remember that #foodsecurity is central to this dream. Let us all renew our resolve to #endhunger

UL196 : Checked in online, reserved a front seat. @SriLankanAir Delhi staff, led by Ms. Sultan, said flight was “full” and sent me to the back. Colombo HQ intervened—and voilà, a front seat appeared! Magic? Or just a courtesy & honesty shortage at DEL check-in? #TravelTales
