Many of the Rohingya refugees I met in Cox’s Bazar 🇧🇩 were young children, some born in the camps. They've been through a lot in a short time, but still remain hopeful of a bright future. We remain committed to finding the opportunities they deserve — for as long as it takes.

Great to meet Ambassador @BobRae48 today and exchange on the refugee situation in Asia. Thanked him for 🇨🇦’s support to the region, and for his own leadership, particularly on the Rohingya situation since 2017.

Good discussions with @DDFaisalM at the 🇲🇾 mission in New York. Malaysia remains a major host of refugees from Myanmar, and an important advocate for improving the humanitarian situation in the country. Terima kasih!

Pleased to address UNHCR’s Standing Committee for the first time today. I spoke about the importance of not losing focus on the two major refugee situations in our region — Afghanistan and Myanmar — amidst other global humanitarian crises.

With more than 1/2 million Afghans returning from Pakistan in recent months, I visited reception points yesterday + met with returning families. They asked for our continued assistance to help reintegrate, as well as support for those still in Pakistan. This remains our priority.

On #IWD , I think especially of our female colleagues in Afghanistan. They continue to work to serve people in need every day, and I was humbled to mark #IWD with them last week in Kandahar.

Honoured to speak at the opening of the World Conference on Statelessness in Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾, one of the largest gatherings ever on Statelessness. 2/3 of stateless people worldwide reside in Asia, and we remain committed to working alongside them to find solutions in the region.

In Asia and beyond, women and children disproportionately bear the brunt of conflict and displacement. Together with our partners we work to ensure they receive the protection and support they need for their wellbeing.

In Aceh 🇮🇩, I met young Rohingya women and girls who have survived deadly boat journeys. Along the way, they had lost everything, but not hope. We must strengthen our resolve to find solutions for refugees like them, in Asia and beyond.

Malaysia 🇲🇾 hosts nearly 200,000 refugees, the majority from Myanmar. I was pleased to visit UNHCR’s operation this week and see the work being done alongside refugee communities to provide education, health and other kinds of support.
