The UK and Nigeria are united by shared aspirations for growth and our common interests in peace and security. That’s why it is the first African country I have visited as Foreign Secretary. Thank you President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for welcoming me.

Promoting the UK's tourism offer is important. 2023 saw record breaking results with 1.17m #Aussies visiting 🇬🇧 spending an all-time high of £1.6bn. The 🇦🇺 market is the 4th most valuable one for our visitor economy. Chris Bryant Maria Sykes Catriona Laing Tracey Edginton

Deeply saddened by news of the plane crash overnight in South Korea. My heartfelt condolences go out to the people of South Korea and Thailand, and all those that have lost loved ones.

🌍 Exciting news for Somalia! 🇸🇴 On January 2, 2025, Somalia will become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC), marking a vital milestone in our recovery from decades of challenges. This move reflects the growing international support for Somalia’s efforts

Devastated to see yet another International Day of Education pass Afghan women and girls by. The Taliban must recognise that Afghanistan’s future can only thrive with the freedom to learn for all its people. Education is a right, not a privilege. #EducationDay
