Inspired by Tadashi Yanai! The partnership between #UNIQLO and UNHCR is about financial+in-kind support, recruitment of refugees in Japan+globally, secondment of UNIQLO staff to UNHCR operations. A model for the business community. https://t.co/aMLnHZrADQ

Cooperation between the Republic of Korea and UNHCR is strong. Korean support to refugee operations globally is growing steadily, as discussed today with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha. https://t.co/P909jSiNM9

Listening to the testimonies of victims+survivors of sexual violence in the aid sector, and their advocates, at #safeguarding2018 organized by @PennyMordaunt and @dfid. It is important that we feel deeply uncomfortable, so we can act faster. https://t.co/NZUeDXj4I7

Yesterday 220 refugees were evacuated from Libya: 135 to Niger for onward resettlement to various countries; and 85 to a transit centre in Romania on their way to Norway with support from @UNmigration. Small but crucial steps. International cooperation saves lives. https://t.co/6vnBYvAkla

Grateful to High Representative @FedericaMog for inviting António Vitorino @IOMchief and me to discuss with EU Foreign Affairs Council. Europe is a strategic partner of the UN in finding solutions to refugee+migration issues. https://t.co/4rL1Ctt6cB

As I leave Latin America, I take with me images of young Venezuelan families carrying few belongings, much pain and the fear of an uncertain future. (photos @escob4rt) https://t.co/UAwoLhiJhM
