🌊 Imagine a day without healthy oceans.
No seafood. No coral reefs protecting coasts. No balance for our climate.
Millions across #AsiaPacific depend on healthy oceans every day.
Discover why marine life matters for our shared future.

Regional partnerships can unlock new opportunities for trade, investment and sustainable growth.
Our new MoU with the Eurasian Economic Commission provides a foundation for closer cooperation. The next step is to turn this shared ambition into action.

Pleased to join the 2026 #SPECA Economic Forum in #Kyrgyzstan.
Better transport, trade and digital connectivity can open new opportunities for landlocked countries.
I look forward to the Bishkek Declaration guiding practical regional cooperation towards shared prosperity.

Space technology must benefit all.
The Bangkok Declaration adopted at the 5th Ministerial Conference on #SpaceApplications charts a path towards wider access to innovation and stronger resilience.
Now we must turn these commitments into action across the region.

Space technology can help us anticipate disasters & act before they strike.
At the 5th Ministerial Conference on #SpaceApplications, I called for stronger regional cooperation to turn satellite data into timely action, build resilience and ensure no country is left behind.

What happens when a city stops seeing waste as something to throw away?
In Sihanoukville, #Cambodia, people are changing how waste is sorted, collected and reused.
The next challenge? Taking these changes city-wide.
