Thank you to New Zealand's High Commissioner to Fiji, H.E. Greg Andrews, for the conversation in Suva 🇫🇯. New Zealand 🇳🇿 has been a partner to Pacific women through @UN_Women for many years, and we talked about strengthening that partnership and our work together in the region. @MFATNZ @unwomenpacific @DavidianAli @unwomenasia #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Leaving Fiji 🇫🇯 after three days, 20-plus conversations and one market. A highlight: Wednesday's Talanoa in Nadi, where Hon. Ruth Cross Kwansing of Kiribati 🇰🇮 and Fiji's Hon. Lynda Tabuya set the tone, alongside DIVA for Equality and the amazing Noelene Nabulivou, SPREP DG Sefanaia Nawadra, SPC's Miles Young, UNDP Pacific's Munkhtuya (Tuya) Altangerel, and the many amazing young Pacific climate leaders that I had the honour to meet. What I take with me: Pacific women are not asking to be included in climate action. They are already leading it and asking the rest of us to catch up with finance, decisions and partnerships that match. Vinaka vakalevu to @unwomenpacific, to Fiji, Tuvalu and Australia as #PreCOP31 hosts, and to all who made time for talanoa. #ForAllWomenAndGirls @DavidianAli @unwomenasia

The team behind the work. Honoured to witness the presentation of the traditional sevusevu and to be welcomed into the @unwomenpacific office in Suva, by the colleagues who deliver UN Women's work across 14 Pacific countries and territories. And for Fiji Day (10th Oct) too. Lovely to see the team in blue as the country celebrates. 🇫🇯 Happy Fiji Day! Vinaka vakalevu, fa'afetai, ko rabwa, tanggio tumas and tankyu for everything you do. @DavidianAli @unwomenasia #ForAllWomenAndGirls
