Making the most of the weekend: sharing a great view with a great book!

One example of those impressive women leaders in #Cyprus #shipping . Congratulations Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou and a particularly happy International Day of Women in Shipping to you!

Cyprus is not just a world leader in #shipping , it must be a world leader in women in shipping. In what can often be a male-dominated industry, I’ve been impressed by the number & seniority of women I’ve met in Cyprus shipping. A good place to mark Int Day for Women in Maritime!

Very sad to miss #IDAHOBIT & the #Pride march in north Nicosia today - 1st one I’ve missed since I’ve been in #Cyprus ! Good to see UK in Cyprus & #DiplomatsForEquality there. Congrats to Kuir Kıbrıs Derneği & all the other members of the organising committee

#LGBTrightsareHumanRights

The 🌈 flag flies proudly at the Cyprus House today as we celebrate the International Day against LGBTI-phobia #IDAHOBIT2024 .
Together with remarkable #LGBTIQ + voices 🌍 we reaffirm the right to live free from discrimination and violence.

LGBT rights are human rights. On the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we are flying the 🏳️‍🌈 at the BHC to demonstrate the 🇬🇧’s commitment to championing these rights and to support those who defend them #IDAHOBIT

UK maritime work across the globe is a priority.

Together we are standing up for our shared security, freedom and prosperity. We continue to build partnerships. Our adversaries will not divide us.

Proud to work with 🇺🇸🇬🇧 & key #Amalthea partners in scaling up flow of #humanitarian aid, in line with 🇺🇳2720 UN Mechanism, via the first shipment to #JLOTS pier off-Gaza.

An apt example of shared service facilitated by #CyprusMaritimeCorridor aiming to provide additional aid.

UK aid is now on its way to the temporary pier off the coast of Gaza.

This first shipment contains 8,400 shelter kits, which will be distributed to those most in need.

We’re working with the US, Cyprus and other partners to get as much aid in as we can by all possible routes.

Today saw the first #CyprusForum in #London . A great addition to the many #UKCYties , bringing 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇾 expertise together to discuss the big opportunities and challenges we face

It is a tragedy that a UN staff member was killed and a second seriously injured while travelling in southern Gaza. My thoughts are with their families.

As I said in my call with the United Nations’s Sigrid Kaag yesterday, the UK condemns all attacks on aid workers and we support the UN’s

It is an outrage that Russia has rejected Vladimir Kara-Murza's appeal against his sentence.

Vladimir, a British national, has committed no crime. He is a political prisoner, held by Russia in revenge for speaking out against the war, and should be released immediately.

Attacks by extremists on aid convoys en route to Gaza are appalling.

Gazans are at risk of famine and in desperate need of supplies.

Israel must hold attackers to account and do more to allow aid in – I will be raising my concerns with the Israeli government.

We have summoned the Chinese Ambassador following allegations of foreign interference in the UK.

We remain unequivocal that the recent pattern of behaviour directed against the UK including cyberattacks, reports of espionage links and the issuing of bounties is not acceptable.
