Deeply saddened to learn of death of @davidnabarro, a colleague from my UN years who advised UNSG Ban Ki-moon on how to deal with pandemics, global food insecurity, climate issues & more. David was a dedicated international public servant. His voice of reason will be missed. RIP.

In Pakistan colourful, ornate trucks rumbling down roads & highways is a very common sight, & a dominant part of the country’s identity. Pakistani truck art is more than just cultural expression, it’s also a deeply rooted tradition
