Explanation

The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand [5]. Established in 1947, it serves as the largest regional commission of the United Nations, comprising 53 member states and 9 associate members [3]. Its primary mandate is to foster regional cooperation and promote inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development across the Asia-Pacific region [6]. While it maintains subregional offices in cities like New Delhi, Incheon, Almaty, and Fiji to address specific subregional needs, the central secretariat and main headquarters remain in Bangkok. The commission acts as a regional hub and think-tank, providing technical assistance and capacity-building services to help member states implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [4].
