Bidding farewell to @UN_SDG Regional Director for Asia & the Pacific @DMcLachlanK thank you 🙏🏻 for your tremendous service, advice & support to @UNSriLanka.
Excellent meeting with Amb. Jayantha Jayasuriya, PR @SLUNNewYork & discuss strong partnership between Sri Lanka & @UN. Appreciated also strong statement in support @UN_SDG development coordination system & @UNSriLanka Country Team @MFA_SriLanka
Women’s share of council seats in Sri Lanka jumped from around 2% to 23% in the 2018 local elections when the 25% quota for women took effect.
Yet a new @unwomenSriLanka report finds most women councillors faced obstacles. We must build on progress made & help remove barriers.

An honor to listen to @UN SG @antonioguterres reflections on his tenure & the work of RC & the RC System & the battles worth fighting ahead of us
