Encouraged by our members’ commitment to #GetEveryOneInThePicture. Samoa & PNG are demonstrating commitment to developing national ID cards, supported by digital tech. In the case of PNG this is in tandem with its electoral reforms to include biometric information for voter ID.

Productive exchange with @ASEAN and #TimorLeste on subregional cooperation and the future of multilateralism under #UN80. @ASEAN–@UN collaboration is evolving and @UNESCAP stands ready to reinforce synergies and advance shared goals. #Partners4Region

Grateful for the chance to connect with @UNESCAP member States representatives, including #Japan, #India & #Tajikistan during #HLPF. Your diverse perspectives on #UN80 & regional priorities reflect the richness of #AsiaPacific & help shape our collective path forward.

#AsiaPacific is home to 38 middle-income countries and 60% of the world’s population. At #HLPF, I emphasized that achieving the #SDGs means investing in people, advancing the green transition & expanding partnerships, including with emerging donors & private sector.

To leave no island behind, our monitoring & evaluation framework must be voluntary and based on existing systems. Crucially, implementation of the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS #ABAS must be fully resourced. Let’s make it happen! 🏝️

Productive meeting with #Nepal Ambassador @LokThapa2071 discussing #UN80 initiative, @UNESCAP’s work in the region and pathways for stronger collaboration. Wishing Ambassador Thapa every success as Nepal assumes the @UNECOSOC Presidency for 2025–2026 this July.

#SandAndDustStorms are major environmental challenges affecting 330 million people globally. The General Assembly has called on us, clearly and collectively, to act. Together, we can protect lives and livelihoods, strengthen resilience and build adaptive, sustainable communities.

Engaging discussion with @PakistanUN_NY's Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad on the #UN80 initiative as well as @UNESCAP priorities, areas to strengthen collaboration for the region.

Since Addis, @UNESCAP has led #AsiaPacific’s input to #FFD4, with 4 priorities: broaden & modernize tax bases, strengthen capacities & reform public budgets. Going forward, we are committed to supporting the follow-up process based on the outcomes of the #FFD4Sevilla.

The new MoU with @AFD_en marks a significant milestone in our partnership with #France, one of @UNESCAP’s founding members. We look forward to leveraging this framework to advance our shared agenda for resilient & equitable progress in #AsiaPacific.

Grateful for #Azerbaijan’s gracious welcome and exchange with FM @Bayramov_Jeyhun, @AzerbaijanMFA on accelerating transport & energy cooperation under #SPECA. This collaboration sets the stage for the 82nd session of @UNESCAP, taking place in Baku next year. #CS82

📄 What if a life begins - or ends - and no one officially knows? Too many births and deaths go unrecorded, leaving millions invisible in data and decision-making in the #AsiaPacific region. 👉 Read more here: buff.ly/jWELWq9 #GetEveryoneInThePicture #CRVS

✅ It’s official: The #CRVS Decade is extended to 2030! #AsiaPacific governments reached a landmark decision to ensure all births are registered &all deaths recorded by 2030, bringing universal, inclusive & resilient CRVS systems closer to reality. 📰 bit.ly/CRVS-PR

By 2028, #Nepal aims to register every birth — 100% — as part of its national #CRVS strategy, an ambition as high as the Himalayas. @UNESCAP will support them every step of the way.

#Pakistan's efforts to build mobile, digital registration platforms to ensure that everyone is counted is another good example of south-south cooperation, where it is supporting other countries with their #CRVS plans. #GetEveryOneInThePicture

This week’s Ministerial Conference reaffirmed a shared vision: legal identity for all in #AsiaPacific. Let’s strengthen partnerships, scale innovation and close the gap, so that every birth is registered and every person is seen. #GetEveryoneInThePicture

What a remarkable, commendable achievement of the Government of #India to have digital registration of all its citizens. They are a model that other countries can learn from, both the successes and challenges along the way. #GetEveryoneInThePicture

Always a pleasure to meet journalists, because they help humanize our work by telling the real stories behind the data. Through their lens, we better see how #CRVS systems affect people’s lives & opportunities. #GetEveryoneInThePicture

Great to see the commitment of #SIDS to making sure everyone is in the picture, from registering births and deaths to innovating new ways to collect information. #GetEveryoneInThePicture

The #CRVS exhibition showcases innovation, results and partnerships, from digital tools and community-led solutions to powerful stories of human resilience. This is how #AsiaPacific is building inclusive systems that leave no one behind. #GetEveryOneInThePicture
