Today the Embassy team in Asmara 🇪🇷 came together to run, cycle, walk or row a mile. We joined colleagues from 🇬🇧 diplomatic missions around the world for this year’s #Globalmile - enjoying some great exercise in this beautiful city - before handing the baton to UK in Pakistan 🇬🇧🇵🇰.




A privilege to lead today’s Remembrance Day commemoration in Asmara. Here at the Commonwealth War Cemetery there are 273 graves of those who gave their lives in the Second World War. Thank you to Commonwealth War Graves , Eritrean and international friends for joining us as we honour their memory.


Thank you UNDP Eritrea for your partnership and for leading this discussion.

Thank you to the Government of Eritrea, community leaders and @uniceferitrea for hosting our visitors from Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. We look forward to continuing to foster the 🇪🇷-🇬🇧 partnership.







A joy to welcome students and staff from The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. They are visiting Eritrea and working with the Asmara Heritage Project, which is helping conserve the remarkable architectural heritage here. Thank you AHP for your great work.




Thank you Amanuel Biedemariam - it was a great pleasure to meet you too.
