Desperately saddened by the news this afternoon. The Queen dedicated her life to public service and was an inspiration to me, and to so many others. It has been an honour to serve her at home and abroad. My condolences to The Royal Family

Our greatest diplomat.

I am deeply concerned by abductions in Greater Jonglei 🇸🇸. UK in South Sudan 🇬🇧🇸🇸 calls for all recent abductees to be returned with full respect for their human rights. It is essential for communities to build trust with each other #SSOT

The arrival of His Holiness has been greeted by a huge, enthusiastic crowd at the airport. All will be hoping that this will push the government forward on the road map to bring peace, stability and security to all of South Sudan #SSOT

The UK is sending immediate support to Türkiye including a team of 76 search & rescue specialists, equipment and rescue dogs. In Syria, the UK-funded White Helmets have mobilised their resources to respond. We stand ready to provide further support as needed.

The Troika 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸🇯expresses grave concern over the killing of more than 20 residents, as well as other acts of violence, in Kajo-Keji county in Central Equatoria. The transnational government needs to urgently identify and hold to account those responsible. #SSOT #SouthSudan

The UK’s position is clear. There must be a ceasefire in Sudan. I’m in contact with key partners to work towards resolving this conflict peacefully. Here’s who I’ve been speaking to. 🇺🇸 Secretary Antony Blinken 🇩🇯 Mahmoud Ali youssouf 🇩🇪 @ABaerbock 🇪🇺 Josep Borrell Fontelles 🇸🇦 فيصل بن فرحان 🇦🇪 عبدالله بن زايد

Happy Independence Day! As we mark 12 years since independence, a message from His Majesty King Charles III to the people of South Sudan 🇸🇸 #SSOT
