We have spoken for years of linking humanitarian and development aid. Now it is happening, thanks to the @WorldBank and other development partners. In Bangladesh - and many more countries - the potential positive impact can be huge. https://t.co/XkpGRxbn2N

To ensure that people rescued at sea are disembarked safely and that subsequent procedures are carried out quickly but fairly, UNHCR and IOM @UNmigration have proposed several ideas to the EU. We stand ready to help. https://t.co/z8mT0BK7jV

On my way to Bangladesh to join UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres, @WorldBank President @JimYongKim, @UNFPA Executive Director @Atayeshe. We will visit Rohingya refugees. We will discuss ways to strengthen support to host communities and the Bangladesh government. https://t.co/63YuV6FEq7

I was really happy tonight to meet Thomas Nguli, chairman of the previously stateless Makonde community in Kenya, who recently received Kenyan citizenship. #ibelong #endstatelessness https://t.co/VrLyYo2ypG

Happy to participate in the opening of this year’s consultations with NGOs. The theme is “putting people first”. At a time when even refugees and displaced are politicized and dehumanized, I cannot think of a better focus. https://t.co/cl8ZekX8sJ

Millions of refugees and displaced will benefit from Sweden’s latest contribution to UNHCR: 400 million $ over 4 years. Flexible funds to be used where they are most needed including in underfunded crises. This is generous and exemplary donorship. Thank you ??! https://t.co/9FbaNwPRzq

As current chair of the organizations sponsoring @UNAIDS I briefed its board #PCB42 urging faster action towards ending AIDS as a threat by 2030. I also highlighted that victims of humanitarian crises are especially vulnerable to HIV. https://t.co/mN0Ot2jC9x

As solutions for refugees shrink worldwide, resettling the most vulnerable ones from fragile situations to stable countries saves lives: we need more (not less!) resettlement places and more states to accept resettled refugees. #ATCR2018 https://t.co/I15MeegvQ1

Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries. https://t.co/jp8TFjD9Qp
