Climate shocks and conflict have pushed #Ethiopia into a humanitarian spiral.

As another dry season hits, 10.8 million people will face critical food insecurity.

We must show solidarity with Ethiopians as we come together next week to pledge for humanitarian support.

Today has been a very positive and forward looking day. The work we have done has been constructive and the atmosphere could not be better.

Delighted to be working with David Cameron, José Manuel Albares and Maroš Šefčovič🇪🇺 to create a positive future that delivers joint prosperity.

Putting Geneva into perspective. Day off with the cousins.

Two years on from his arrest on fabricated charges, Vladimir Kara-Murza remains in prison in appalling conditions, at the hands of a regime determined to silence him and everything he stands for.

The UK will not rest in our efforts to secure his release.

Moscow is outspending Ukraine and its allies.

Foreign Secretary David Cameron was in Washington this week to make it clear: Ukraine can win, but we must increase our support to defeat Putin’s war machine.

Losing this war will cost much, much more than backing Ukraine.

Today I made clear to Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian that Iran must not draw the Middle East into a wider conflict.

I am deeply concerned about the potential for miscalculation leading to further violence.

Iran should instead work to de-escalate and prevent further attacks.

This is the struggle of our generation.

Ukraine can win this war and achieve a just peace. But we must all, Americans and Europeans alike, do more.

The outcome is down to us.

And then, all of a sudden, this.

Thanks to the UK for contributing GBP 673,000 (just over CHF 770,000) to support economic growth in the world's least-developed countries through the Enhanced Integrated Framework. A signing ceremony was held yesterday at the WTO with DG Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala & the UK's WTO Ambassador, Simon Manley.

This is the 1st instalment of the CHF 1⃣ million that the UK pledged to the Enhanced Integrated Framework Interim Facility at #WTOMC13AbuDhabi . The Facility seeks to bridge the gap between the end of Phase 2 of the EIF and the establishment of a new multilateral support mechanism for LDCs.

CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs

Peter Higgs’ scientific legacy will extend far beyond the scope of current discoveries. The Higgs boson is linked to some of the most intriguing and crucial outstanding questions in fundamental physics. This still quite mysterious particle…

What a lovely tribute from CERN

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Professor Higgs. Higgs was a giant of theoretical physics. His work truly revolutionised our understanding of the universe at its most basic level. A brilliant mind and a wonderful person.

Grateful to the 🇬🇧 for their first instalment to the EIF Interim Facility. Thank you for supporting inclusive trade for the LDCs!

Delighted formally to confirm, with WTO DG Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the arrival of the first instalment of our new contribution of a million Swiss Francs to the Enhanced Integrated Framework, which has been so important to ensuring that LDCs reap the benefits of open and free trade

Wishing a Happy #EidMubarak to all those celebrating

Seven years on from Colombia’s Peace Agreement, its people still face violence from armed groups.

And human rights defenders are being killed.

We call on the Colombian government to redouble efforts to tackle impunity. The UK is committed to supporting broad and lasting peace.
