The UK will always stand with Ukraine. Welcome back to Downing Street, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський.




Secure at home, strong abroad. To the Royal Marines here in Rotterdam and all those who protect us around the world – thank you for your service.


There’s no security without strong defences. And no defence without a strong defence industry. So we must unite, innovate and deliver. Watch Mark Rutte's full speech at the #NATOsummit Defence Industry Forum ↓


Yesterday, on day 1 of the #NATOsummit, PM Keir Starmer visited the 🇳🇱 Koninklijke Marine base in Rotterdam where Royal Marines & @KorpsMariniers work side by side. 🇬🇧 & 🇳🇱 are key allies cooperating on the most pressing global issues of the day like European security & supporting 🇺🇦.


Very good meeting between 🇳🇱 Caspar Veldkamp Veldcamp & 🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary David Lammy in the margins of the #NATOSummit today. The commitment to close cooperation on security, foreign policy & specifically Ukraine remains as strong as ever between the #NorthSeaNeighbours

NATO is growing stronger, fairer and more lethal with the UK at its centre. Together with Keir Starmer and John Healey in The Hague, we’re stepping up for our collective security, keeping Britain safe at home and strong abroad.







So, it’s really happening.. My thanks to Ministerie van BZ SG Christiaan Rebergen for recently hosting a farewell lunch for me with friends & colleagues. It’s been a brillant five years! 🇬🇧 ♥️ 🇳🇱


A privilege to unveil this stunning statue in the garden of the British residence in The Hague, giving voice & presence to the survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. #PSVI #RightsFreedomPotential Collins of Highbury Harriet Harman UK in NL🇬🇧🇳🇱
