A wonderful festive atmosphere at Thai Government House to celebrate the passage of the Marriage Equality Bill through Parliament. Truly a historic moment as Thailand becomes the third country in Asia & first in ASEAN to legalise same sex marriage 💛 🏳️‍🌈#lovewins #equality

It’s wonderful to be back in Indonesia, reflecting on the journey it has made since the end of the Suharto era. Many Indonesians are rightly worried about the future of their democracy, yet it is still an impressive achievement after its difficult birth. https://t.co/BNXfP8s3TI

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the #DPRK export and Russia’s procurement of DPRK ballistic missiles, as well as Russia’s use of these missiles against #Ukraine on 30 December & 2 January.

Very saddened by the devastating loss of life and destruction in the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

My thoughts are with all those who have lost their lives and homes, the injured, their families and the rescue teams working in very difficult circumstances.

I represented Ireland today at the High Level Meeting of the Archipelagic and Island States Forum. Thanks to Indonesia and UNDP for organising this gathering of countries facing common ocean challenges. @aisforum @UNDPIndonesia @Kemlu_RI

[Embassy of Ireland in Ukraine @IrlEmbUkraine]

Ambassador Healy was interviewed by The Irish Times, reflecting on a year of horrific war for Ukraine. One year ago, along with millions of Ukrainians, we awoke to the sound of invasion. Today, we reiterate our strong and enduring support for Ukraine. 🇮🇪🇺🇦https://t.co/RBI9nppUJg

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Shinta Ratri whose work for tolerance and inclusion was recognised in Indonesia and beyond

[Andreas Harsono @andreasharsono]

Shinta Ratri has lived as a waria, or transgender woman, since she was 18 and, over time, came to know a network of other waria in Yogyakarta. She opened the Islamic boarding school in 2008 🇮🇩 https://t.co/pD12sIX3vk

[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

Today, the #SecurityCouncil adopted its 1⃣st Resolution on the situation in #Myanmar.

Ireland🇮🇪 voted in favour of this resolution.

This is a pivotal response to the severe crises facing Myanmar🇲🇲 following the military coup in February 2021.

[Conrad Hackett @conradhackett]

I love this map of population change from 1840 to 2021.
The world has six times more people now than it did in 1840. Most countries also have a lot more people. Ireland is an exception - it actually had more people in 1840.

[Nabila Massrali @NabilaEUspox]

The DPRK’s launch of multiple missiles today, including one which fell into waters south of the Northern Limit Line, marks a wanton & dangerous escalation in its repeated violation of UNSC resolutions.

@NBurgessDFAT @IrlEmbParis @tcd Prof Wright was my thesis supervisor and a brilliant and thoughtful champion of all things French who I admired very much. Delighted to see this lovely tribute to her

[Matthew Tostevin @TostevinM]

The world's attention is on Ukraine, but the death toll has kept rising in Myanmar and it shows no sign of stopping. The 1,769 people recorded killed by the junta are only the victims that @aapp_burma has been able to confirm. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
