A pleasure visiting the Metropolitan School of Panama this week and speaking to teams at the start of their Model United Nations competition. I congratulated participants. It takes courage to speak in public the first time, more so in a foreign language. Good English opens doors.

I saw this Violet-headed Hummingbird on its nest beside the road in the beautiful and little-visited Santa Fe National Park. This tiny #bird measures just 3". The park, established in 2001, protects 700sq km of Caribbean and Pacific slopes in the highlands of Central #Panama.

I'm appalled at Russia’s horrific attacks on civilians in Sumy and my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones at this tragic time. President Zelenskyy has shown his commitment to peace. Putin must now agree to a full and immediate ceasefire without conditions.

What better place to be than #Panama on ebird's Global Big Day, an annual global celebration of the birds around us? I had a great day birding with an expert team from Renee H. Kimball and Ministerio de Ambiente de Panamá in Bocas del Toro. And the rain made the frogs happy too.

My joint statement with Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

Esta mañana sostuve una productiva reunión con Jessica Morden, Enviada Comercial del Reino Unido para Centroamérica, y el embajador James Dauris. Conversamos sobre inversión, comercio y proyectos estratégicos como el tren Panamá-David. También resaltamos el potencial de

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. These actions are not acceptable. This is why we have taken action now – to hold those responsible to account.

Fitting that #Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina has been awarded The Orwell Prize for her book "Looking at Women, Looking at War", though a tragedy that she will never get to know she won. "An unforgettable picture of the human consequences of war," Chair of Judges Kim Darroch.

Es triste que la escritora ucraniana Victoria Amelina jamás conocerá que ha sido galardonada con The Orwell Prize por su libro "Looking at Women, Looking at War". "Una imagen inolvidable de las consecuencias humanas de la guerra", declaró Kim Darroch, presidenta del jurado.
