1/6 I've been reflecting on what has been an extraordinary time to be DHM Holy See. State Visits don't grow on trees - many 🇬🇧 diplomats never get to deliver one - let alone one so unique & historic. It was many months in the preparation (shout-out to amazing team @UKinHolySee)

On the first anniversary of the death of Pope Francis, we remember his moral leadership, compassion, and commitment to dialogue. His leadership helped strengthen the close and enduring relationship between the 🇬🇧 and the 🇻🇦.

Proud to support the Women, Faith & Climate Network @WiltonPark initiative. Women of faith play a key role in strengthening collaboration on climate justice and turning commitment into action #climateaction

A pleasure to meet Sr Tiziana Merletti, Secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life - one of Pope Leo XIV’s first Curial appointments. A rich discussion on safeguarding, canon law and the leadership of women religious 🇬🇧🤝🇻🇦 @uisg_superiors

[Dr Anabel Inge @Anabel_Inge]

Always a pleasure working in partnership with @uisg_superiors - especially Sr Maamalifar (pictured), whose climate leadership is so grounded and practical. And a great read from Dr Lorna Gold of @LaudatoSiMvmt on women of faith rising for our common home: https://t.co/BuFqgYozKG

[Dr Anabel Inge @Anabel_Inge]

Last week, I attended @WiltonPark with the Women, Faith & Climate Network. Women of faith are already leading climate action on the ground - with moral authority, deep community reach and solutions. Proud to support this work through @UKinHolySee. Time to scale what works #WFCN

Using my Palmerston mug for my morning cup of espresso today in honour of the great cat. RIP 🐾

[Dr Anabel Inge @Anabel_Inge]

Palmerston brightened up the FCDO corridors when I worked in London. His unannounced office inspections were a a perk of the job. Rest in peace, our dear tuxedo’d pal 🐾

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Our Chief Mouser, feline diplomat and former @Battersea_ resident, Palmerston @DiploMog, has sadly passed away at his retirement post in Bermuda.

Farewell Palmerston, with love and thanks from all your FCDO friends.
