Russiaβs violation of NATO airspace, hitting a residential building in Romania is extremely dangerous and reckless.
The UK strongly condemns this grave escalation that puts lives at risk. I am in contact with the Romanian Foreign Minister. The UK stands united with Romania and all Allies to defend every inch of NATO territory.

Excellent discussion with @CDA Fractievoorzitter @HenriBontenbal and CDA Foreign Policy and Defence Lead Maes van Lanschot. Covering security, energy, migration and economic growth, we agreed these were more important than ever - for our shared security and prosperity.

The UK is working with 45 other countries from across Europe to tackle migration challenges the right way - together, and in line with international law.

In a challenging global environment, close UK/NL cooperation really matters for our shared security and prosperity - from economic growth and energy resilience to continued support for Ukraine.
Great discussion today with @rubenbrekelmans on taking our cooperation even further.

Today, I laid a wreath at the Grote Kerk in The Hague - commemorating the entry of the Princess Irene Brigade into The Hague during its liberation in 1945.
The brigade was based in Wolverhampton in the UK during the war formed of exiled Dutch soldiers and resistance fighters.

Geschokt en ontzet over de explosie gisteravond in het @D66 partijkantoor in Den Haag. Geweld en intimidatie hebben geen plaats in een democratie. Veel sterkte aan alle betrokkenen.
May 7
Een vuurwerkbom door de brievenbus van het partijbureau van D66. Een laffe daad van intimidatie. Voor wie denkt angst aan te kunnen jagen, heb ik een boodschap: wij laten ons in democratisch Nederland nooit het zwijgen opleggen door geweld. Veel dank aan politie en brandweer voor hun snelle optreden.

Yesterday, Ambassador @Crampling joined His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands at the annual Liberation Day Concert on the Amstel.
The concert marked Liberation Day and offered a moment to reflect on more than eight decades of freedom.
