Mayor Doria @jdoriajr told me that São Paulo - one of the world’s great global cities - has always been and will remain also a city of solidarity, immigration and refuge. https://t.co/bjiU4aidcK

ISIS was defeated, but war rages in Syria, killing civilians. Syrians can't flee abroad as borders are closed, but they continue to die. Are we forgetting the people of Syria? It would be the last straw of this colossal, collective failure. https://t.co/BVV2BvMWGA

Brazil, a country that celebrates diversity, is a generous host to thousands of refugees. President @MichelTemer assured me of his country’s strong commitment to refugee protection. https://t.co/IRePVkNt5t

The international community must support Turkey's efforts to host millions of refugees. Education of refugee children is especially important. Read this story about my visit. https://t.co/PVNlCEF3ec

I send my condolences to the family of Ruud Lubbers, former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, who passed away yesterday. As UN High Commissioner for Refugees he was a strong advocate for refugees and the displaced. May he rest in peace. https://t.co/ONwvbmVAzf
