Our family was thrilled to join friends from the #Moldova and #Romania community in London last night for an incredible concert by @daniuliandr and Mazal Drutac. 🇲🇩🇬🇧🇷🇴🎶
Thanks to my 7 year old for the “dynamic” filming.
🇲🇩🤝🇬🇧Productive meeting with #UK Minister of State for Europe @SDoughtyMP.
We discussed the strong #Moldova - #UK partnership, the UK's support for Moldova’s reforms, EU integration, and priorities for strengthening resilience in the face of regional challenges.
Moldova’s independence is crucial to European security and the UK supports Moldova’s efforts to safeguard their democracy.
Yesterday, Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP visited his counterpart, Anatolie Nosatii, to reaffirm the UK’s commitment to a security partnership.
🇬🇧🤝🇲🇩
We will always stand with Moldova and its people, defending their democratic choice to pursue a path of freedom, independence and sovereignty.
Thank you @MihaiPopsoi for your visit to London.
🇬🇧🇲🇩
The UK stands in solidarity with the Belarusian people in the face of the Lukashenko regime’s relentless repression.
It was an honour to hear direct from the fellows of @JohnSmithTrust. Their courage in pursuing a free and democratic future for Belarus is inspirational.
On International Women’s Day, I pay tribute to the women and girls fighting for freedom worldwide.
Maria Kolesnikova, a political activist imprisoned by the Belarusian regime, has had no contact with family or friends for over a year. I call for her immediate release.
Thank you @DorinRecean and @dumitru_alaiba for your support to 🇬🇧 investment in 🇲🇩. @MacRebur offers an innovative and environmental alternative for road construction. This is good for the economy and environment. A GREAT British product.
I am appalled at the death in custody of Belarusian political prisoner Ihar Lednik, unjustly imprisoned for criticising the regime. I salute Ihar's courage and condemn the shocking treatment of Belarus' 1400+ political prisoners. We hold the regime responsible for their safety.

We know that peace processes are more likely to succeed when women have been involved. Here's a great opportunity for women to train in ceasefire negotiations.

On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla
He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard
Did I want to see it?
If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.
