Last week at the United Nations we honoured His Majesty The King’s birthday with colleagues from across the world. American Ballet Theatre performed an excerpt of Shakespeare’s The Winter's Tale, a ballet created by British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon OBE, on show at the Metropolitan Opera House in July.

Delighted to welcome Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo to the United Nations to advocate for the right of Gibraltarians to decide their future. The 11 June UK-EU Agreement has his full backing. It secures Gibraltar’s interests and safeguards its sovereignty as part of the UK family.

Today is Aung San Suu Kyi's 80th birthday. She will spend today, alongside thousands of other political prisoners, in detention in Myanmar at the hands of the Myanmar regime. Release Aung San Suu Kyi. Release all those arbitrarily detained.

25 years ago, the Council adopted a key resolution on Women, Peace and Security. Women’s equal and safe participation in peace and political processes is vital to tackling under-development and conflict. We're proud to partner with 🇬🇾 on this through the National Action Plan.

Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. The US has taken action to alleviate the threat that would pose to the global community. The UK did not participate in these strikes. We urge Iran to show restraint and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis.

Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. The US took action last night to alleviate this threat. The UK has not taken part in US or Israeli strikes. We urge all parties to now pursue a deal to address Iran’s nuclear escalation. Now is the time for restraint and diplomacy.

We welcome the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. It must be respected by all sides. Now, we urge Iran to agree a deal that gives the world long-term confidence that its nuclear programme is peaceful. The UK and our E3 partners are ready to support negotiations to this end.
