Great discussion with @DavidMalpassWBG on supporting Ukraine. Russia’s invasion is hiking global food & energy prices. Poorest countries hit hardest. @WorldBank responding at scale.
I met with 🇪🇹 Finance Minister Ahmed Shide @MoF_Ethiopia again today. Good conversation on progress towards peace in Ethiopia, the critical need for humanitarian access and the UK’s support to people across the whole country.
On way to the Friends of Ukraine meeting at @WorldBank 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine
Important talks on plans for @EduCannotWait, the global fund for education in emergencies. ECW has supported 4.6 million children since its launch by 🇬🇧 and partners in 2016. It is ready to grow and provide even more vital education services for children affected by crisis.
RT @trussliz: Our intelligence reveals Russia is intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure in Mariupol. Putin’s regime is committing war crimes on a horrific scale and the depravity is plain to see.
Those responsible will be held to account.

Good to meet Jamaican Foreign Minister @kaminajsmit. We discussed the breadth of 🇬🇧🇯🇲 relations, and the concerns of Small Island Developing States, including on climate change and access to finance. The UK is determined to ensure SIDS have better access to reliable financing.
RT @trussliz: The @OSCE Moscow Mechanism report exposes the horrific war crimes of the Putin regime. A damning indictment of Russia’s illegal and brutal war.
We will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice.

In democracies, free and objective oppositions have important role in holding Gov to account, make valid criticisms when due, but also support when in the national interest. Met with opposition leader Hon. Brian Mundubile to hear PF on balancing these rights & responsibilities.
