We wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday.
His passion for the natural world has galvanised international action to preserve it like nobody else.

Today we summoned the Russian Ambassador to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat, responding to the unjustified expulsion of a British diplomat and hostile public targeting of our staff.
We will not tolerate intimidation and will respond accordingly.

Honoured to stand alongside diplomatic colleagues today as we commemorate Anzac Day—remembering the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of those who served. Lest we forget.
We will remember them.
Today, the UK stands with Australia and New Zealand in remembrance, honouring all who served and sacrificed.

Four years into the Kremlin’s assault, meeting Ukrainian MPs reinforced our admiration for Ukraine’s courage and determination. The UK is proud to have committed £21.8bn to support Ukraine and to keep working with our Australian partners in this effort 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺

Fantastic to have Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy in Sydney for the AMR Summit.
AMR is a global threat that needs global solutions - stronger partnerships, shared research and coordinated action to protect the medicines we all rely on.
@ukinaustralia
Honoured to meet the female trailblazers in AMR and hear about their inspiring leadership, commitment, and impact around the world. Grateful to @CSIRO and the FlemingInitiative for making this possible.

Last week a team from @UKinAustralia visited @OurBigKitchen in Sydney.
While we chopped carrots, Rabbi Dovid Slavin shared how OBK deliver 250,000 meals a year, support 33 charities as well as individuals and families in need, and offer a place for community.

We learned about the ongoing devastation and urgent need to stand with Ukraine now more than ever.
