An incredible honour to be in this photo with HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum at the opening of the Asia-Pacific Cities Summit and Mayors’ Forum at Expo City Dubai.

Last week in Nairobi, we were proud to join our 2025APCS Knowledge Partner, Charter Cities Institute, at the New Cities Summit — a leading gathering of urban thinkers, builders, and changemakers from Africa and beyond.

From leading a workshop on Expo City Dubai’s Urban Framework to moderating conversations on urban design, contributing to a White Paper Roundtable on New Cities, and holding one-on-one engagements with public and private sector leaders — our time in Nairobi strengthened our connections with those shaping Africa’s urban future.

As we look ahead to 2025APCS this October, we continue to build a truly global platform — bringing cities together to address shared priorities and unlock bold opportunities for trade, investment, and sustainable development.

Join us in shaping the cities of tomorrow.

No girl should ever be forced to get married.

Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential and has lasting impacts on their health and well-being.

Yet, millions go to bed on an empty stomach every night.

No one should go hungry – ever.

Poverty is a global plague, affecting hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Eradicating poverty is an essential foundation for humane, dignified societies that leave no one behind.

On this #EndPoverty day, let’s re-commit to making poverty history.

This is a positive step in the right direction for improved 🇮🇳-🇵🇰 bilateral relations!

Both countries have a shared history, culture, language. There is more to unite them than divide them.
