Wishing you a peaceful Eid Mubarak. #EidalFitr May this special time bring harmony, gratitude and renewed hope to your hearts and homes.

Pleased to meet Bakytzhan Sagintayev, Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission. We discussed cooperation on trade, transport connectivity, digital development, statistics and analysis. @UNESCAP looks forward to continuing cooperation on shared priorities.

As #APFSD closes, we reaffirm a simple truth: sustainable development demands collective leadership. With 2030 approaching, Asia and the Pacific must deepen cooperation, strengthen resilience and translate commitments into tangible progress for all.

#APFSD closes with a clear message: ambition must now translate into delivery. From water and energy to cities and partnerships, Asia and the Pacific recommitted to making the #SDGs work for people and the planet. 2030 is not just a milestone. It is a promise to keep.

Complex challenges require innovative solutions. At the #APFSD exhibition, it was inspiring to see how new technologies are being applied to advance sustainable development across the region.

Encouraged by the passion and solutions young people are bringing to #APFSD. With 750 million youth in Asia and the Pacific, accelerating the #SDGs depends on their leadership, innovation and courage to shape a better future.

Progress on sustainable development depends on diverse partnerships. Pleased to meet with Asia Water Council, @Microsoft, @IGES and @CicaSecretariat to advance regional cooperation on AI, water scarcity and climate action. #APFSD

Always valuable to hear directly from our member States & exchange views on the path ahead. Constructive discussions today with the Philippines, Nepal, Tonga & Australia on priorities shaping our regional agenda: social protection, LNOB, LDC graduation, VNR support & #UN80.

An insightful Leaders Dialogue on Sustainable Development at #APFSD. 10 years into #2030Agenda, we reflected on lessons learned, persistent bottlenecks and the bold, practical steps needed to accelerate progress in the final five-year sprint.

Pleased to welcome @UNECOSOC to #APFSD this year. We discussed how the UN development pillar can better serve all countries, recognising that development underpins peace, security and prosperity. #UN80 must strengthen the system and ensure it advances inclusive multilateralism.

Pleased to mark the extension of the Memorandum of Understanding between @UNESCAP and @gggi_hq today. Our continued partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing #2030Agenda and accelerating #ClimateAction across Asia and the Pacific.

National priorities are increasingly converging around a shared regional imperative. In exchanges with China, Japan, Indonesia & Russia, we explored how sustainable urban development, innovation, support for #SIDS and cooperation can drive resilient growth across the region.

At the High-Level Event of @UNECOSOC, I reflected on how vanishing glaciers and rising seas reveal the deep interconnections shaping our region. Climate risks now transcend borders. Our response must be guided by science, solidarity and stronger regional cooperation. #APFSD

📢 The 13th #APFSD is officially underway! Over the next 4 days, delegates and changemakers from across the region are gathered to advance key #SDGs. The goal is sustainable development for all by 2030. 🎥 Watch live: buff.ly/4eLaDcq

At the opening of #APFSD, I underscored: Political leadership should overcome vested interests. Transparency and accountability increase public trust and enable difficult reforms. Delivering on the #2030Agenda demands courage and collective action. #SDGs

Pleasant exchange with Jeevanthie Senanayake, Director General of the Sustainable Development Council of #SriLanka, on preparations for the country’s 2027 Voluntary National Review.   @UNESCAP remains committed to strengthening national reporting, to accelerate the #SDGprogress.

The future of sustainable development is shaped by how well we work together. Next week at #APFSD, Asia and the Pacific comes together to accelerate action for a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable future. I look forward to welcoming you to Bangkok.

There’s still time. There’s still hope. There’s still a way forward. Next week, #APFSD brings together changemakers in Bangkok to share real solutions for the #2030Agenda. 🌏 What’s your idea to accelerate progress? 🔗 bit.ly/APFSD13

Happy Lunar New Year 🌕 As we welcome the Year of the Horse 🐎, I wish all communities across Asia and the Pacific a year of peace, good health and opportunity. May the spirit of renewal inspire greater solidarity and inclusive progress.

Pleased to meet @FM_Szijjarto of #Hungary to discuss shared priorities for regional cooperation. Strengthening connectivity across @ASEAN and #CentralAsia is essential to advancing sustainable development.
