Delighted to announce 9 new UK diplomatic posts across #ourCommonwealth. As a family of nations, it's in our shared interest to boost prosperity, tackle security issues & clear up the environment. Global Britain is outward facing & open for business https://t.co/RuhTejrDgk
Encouraged by UK’s commitment to put 12 years of free, safe, quality education for girls at the heart of the #CHOGM18 agenda today. I hope all #Commonwealth leaders will back this ambition with funding commitments.
The Commonwealth can be a blessing to the world – its extraordinary diversity held together by a common humanity and vision of hope.

Ever wondered how we got a quarter ton whale onto the @QEIICentre lawn? 🐋
Meet Plasticus, the 10 metre whale made from the same amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean every second.
