Looking forward to meetings with international partners on solving the major global challenges we face:
- consequences of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine

RT @JamesCleverly: Putin’s illegal annexation of parts of Ukraine violates the UN charter.
Putin’s attacks on the Ukrainian people must stop.
It jeopardises peace and security all around the world.
#StandWithUkraine
RT @trussliz: The overwhelming international support for Ukraine’s struggle stands in stark opposition to the isolation of Russia on the world stage.
Nobody wants peace more than Ukraine. The @G7 will not waver in our resolve to help them win it.

Proud that UK 🇬🇧 aid is helping where it’s needed most.
In Somalia, 300,000 are facing famine. Collectively, the international community must act now ⬇️
RT @FCDOGovUK: The drought in Somalia is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today.
UK aid is saving lives with £52.8 million this year – providing food, healthcare and water.
The international community must act now to avoid a catastrophic famine.
RT @Conservatives: Our mission is to get Britain moving and create a high-growth, low-tax economy for the British people.
RT @JamesCleverly: Both @TrussLiz and I have been clear.
We will not stop our support for Ukraine.
We will not back down against Putin’s aggression.
We will not stop until he is stopped.

We are the only party with the determination to deliver.
Together, we can unleash the full potential of our great country.
RT @LGBTCons: Great to have our new @FCDOGovUK Development Minister @vickyford sign our pledge board and talk with us about global LGBT+ rights🏳️🌈🌍
