Last day at #GB8. Major points such as revision of the SMTA, funding strategy of the @planttreaty, digital sequence information and expansion of Annex 1 to more crops and forages are still within grasp. One last push tomorrow. I am heading to India for CIP BoT.

[Selim Guvener @SelimGuvener]

@CIMMYT @CGIAR @ICARDA @ASA_CSSA_SSSA Well deserved Tom. Congratulations.

Intense negotiations #GB8 among Contracting Parties to the @Planttreaty to agree on the best ways to tackle global challenges. Leaves me some time to explore around FAO.

[FAO Director-General QU Dongyu @FAODG]

I was deeply honoured to be received by His Holiness Pope Francis today. Thank you @Pontifex for this inspiring exchange and your pronounced support to the mandate of @FAO and its upcoming activities.

We need to promote decent work, empower youth and women to achieve the #SDGs.
