In 2019 @Tate took a fabulous exhibition of #Hockney works to Beijing, and it was FABULOUSโ€ฆ. Particularly seeing his works alongside the Chinese art that inspired him, and in the urban settings that inspired the Chinese artโ€ฆ

Sitting in as ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Foreign Ministers have their discussions an immense privilege. Our countries and our Ministerial bosses: vital allies, close colleagues, and supportive friends.
Australia, Britain and Canada are the best of partners, and our alliance is more vital than ever today, built on strong relationships and shared values. I'm glad to welcome my friends @SenatorWong & @AnitaAnandMP to the UK for our latest ABC dialogue today.

Pleased to meet with Prime Minister @narendramodi and External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar. We discussed the most pressing global challenges including resuming freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz - and strengthened our bilateral relationship, agreeing new cooperation on maritime security and critical minerals. It is the work we do internationally which makes us stronger at home

Great to be back in #Beijing with the Foreign Secretary, @YvetteCooperMP for important talks with ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ
China is the second largest economy and like the UK is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. We must engage for the UKโ€™s security and prosperity in line with British values. Met Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing today to discuss issues including re-opening the Strait of Hormuz, the war in Ukraine and Ebola.
