Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas confirmed today the strong support of Germany ?? to UNHCR in responding to refugee crises and defending refugee rights. German humanitarian leadership has never been so important. https://t.co/u7qfE151fi

From Yemen to South Sudan, from Syria to eastern Ukraine, from Myanmar's Rakhine State to northern Central America, and in many other places, war, violence and exile deprive millions of young people of their future. We think of this on #YouthDay. https://t.co/kXV0sgIEyy

As China’s international role grows, so does its global support to refugees. I have wrapped up three days of talks in Beijing on China’s contributions to humanitarian operations, and on how it can help find solutions to refugee problems. https://t.co/y4TksMALDp

Thanks to the Royal Thai Government for granting citizenship to three of the boys who were trapped in a cave and their coach. Another example of Thailand’s good efforts to reduce statelessness. ?? @MFAThai #IBelong https://t.co/RqYwPTRfnz

For refugees, often, the insult of exploitation is added to the injury of forced exile. I appealed to business leaders of the #BaliProcess to expand efforts to create refugee employment and support solutions for refugees, including return, with economic opportunities. https://t.co/szCPyMvfnr

The #BaliProcess aims to tackle irregular migration+trafficking in Asia Pacific region. Sharing responsibility regionally to support refugees+migrants and addressing causes of displacement are as important as controls+enforcement. #BPMC7 https://t.co/M0b3D240y5

As I visit #Indonesia to attend #BPMC7 I would like to express solidarity and support on behalf of all of us at UNHCR for the losses and damage caused by the #Lombok earthquake. Our thoughts are especially with the families of those who lost their lives. https://t.co/feoaVyEOIz

1500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean this year. Rescue at sea must continue and be strengthened. And unless action is seriously taken to address root causes, offer alternative pathways, and combat trafficking, this tragedy will continue. https://t.co/0n7k4QG5Rb
