Today I thanked Prime Minister Suga for his government’s support of UNHCR and refugees — Japan’s humanitarian leadership must continue. And I asked him to thank the people of Japan for hosting the @RefugeesOlympic team. #Tokyo2020 is an extraordinary moment of global solidarity. https://t.co/dp4WSHvhN8

I wish a peaceful #EidAlAdha to all Muslims who observe this important holiday. May its spirit of sharing and kindness be of inspiration to the world.

Important meeting today with Minister of Justice @Kamikawa_Yoko. Japan 🇯🇵 acceded to the Refugee Convention 40 years ago — UNHCR will continue to encourage and support its efforts to deal with asylum seekers, expand refugee resettlement and reduce statelessness. https://t.co/9mbUSWmL6l

I have just landed in Japan ahead of the #Tokyo2020 Olympic Games. I came here to cheer the #RefugeeOlympicTeam - athletes who embody the hopes and aspirations of more than 80 million people around the world uprooted by war, violence, discrimination and persecution. @iocmedia https://t.co/KnSh8gBD74

Welcome, Martin — we at UNHCR look forward to working with you and continuing our good cooperation with OCHA. In a politically fragmented world, your strong humanitarian leadership will be needed to support the aid community’s efforts amidst growing challenges. @UNReliefChief https://t.co/aJp5MV2rNq

UNHCR has lost access to the two remaining Eritrean refugee camps in Tigray because of fighting. We call on the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray Regional Government to uphold international law and respect the civilian character of refugee camps. https://t.co/XxpqVscHz8

Dear @unicefchief, your work and advocacy on behalf of children, to get education and clean water to all and against exploitation and abuse have made a difference in the lives of many, and in how we all work. Thank you for your friendship and all the best to you and your family. https://t.co/xhGrrv95mY

UNHCR calls on all parties and actors to not only comply with international legal obligations, including the protection of civilians, but also to stop using and manipulating refugees to score political points. Statement on Eritrean refugees in Tigray👇🏻 https://t.co/anFGaVylH7
