Today, Orthodox Christians around the world will be breaking the Lenten fast marking Orthodox Easter. I send my best wishes to you all.

The UK continues to tackle the persecution of Christians globally, and champion freedom of religion or belief for all.

Very sad to see the defeat of the excellent Andy Street Street in the West Midlands. He has been a devoted and dedicated Mayor for the region and he’s served his constituents with passion and an impeccable sense of public duty.

Many congratulations Sadiq on being elected Mayor for a historic third term - ‘Mubarak ‘ - we have an incredible city, enriched by the diversity of our communities. I look forward to working with you to champion London.

WCK teams are delivering tens of thousands of meals to displaced families in Rafah daily. Alongside our community kitchens, we’ve scaled quickly since resuming operations in Gaza. Our Palestinian teams are working tirelessly to ensure food reaches people in need.

Utterly appalled by the killing in South Darfur 🇸🇩 of two ICRC staff, and injuring of three more. Aid workers are not targets. Those responsible for this heinous act must be held to account.

Following continued West Bank violence, the UK has sanctioned 2 organisations and 4 individuals responsible for inciting human rights abuses against Palestinian communities.

Israeli government must hold those responsible for settler violence to account.

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Abu Dhabi Ruler’s Representative in Al Ain Region, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Al Nahyan family and people of the UAE.

WCK teams deliver meals by any means necessary. In Zaporizhzhia, we deployed boats to provide meals to firefighters extinguishing a large blaze that ignited along the Dnipro River. The boats made it possible to reach responders working in challenging terrain.

#ElNiño is intensifying weather extremes, affecting 30M people in Southern Africa with the harshest mid-season drought in over a century.

I’ve allocated $13.5M from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to bolster early action & response and enhance community resilience against the climate crisis.

Important visit to Riyadh with David Cameron for @WEF

Key meetings with Leaders and Foreign Ministers focused on Gaza, seeking unhindered humanitarian access and the release of hostages. UK 🇬🇧 focused on a credible and irreversible pathway to a Two-State Solution.

It was a great honour to mark Bangladesh's 54th National day yesterday alongside FM Dr. Hasan Mahmud, celebrating Bangladesh's vibrant culture and friendship between our nations. I look forward to strengthening our ties further 🇬🇧🇧🇩

To mark Lesotho's 🇱🇸 200th anniversary year, I met with His Majesty King Letsie III to discuss our shared interest in the Commonwealth.
An important moment to celebrate the UK 🇬🇧 and Lesotho 🇱🇸 friendship.

🇺🇦 Today The Duchess of Edinburgh became the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion.

Her Royal Highness met Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and Олена Зеленська as well as women, men and children impacted by the war.

20 years ago UN Security Council Resolution 1540 brought countries together to act collectively against the proliferation of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons to prevent terrorists using them. The resolution is still vital to global security.

Great news to hear that HM King Charles III is resuming his public facing duties. May he be blessed with full health and continue to provide leadership and inspire our country and our Commonwealth Family of nations.

Asma Jahangir was an incredible and powerful human rights champion and advocate in Pakistan and around the world. May her memory and example serve to inspire generations to come. UK in Pakistan 🇬🇧🇵🇰 #AJCONF
