Political modernisation in Jordan is playing a key part in the country’s stability.

Today I discussed reform and the strength of the UK/ Jordan relationship with Speaker of the house, Ahmad Safadi.

We emphasised the need for long-term peace and security in the Middle East.

A brilliant awareness and educational event. Thank you everyone.

The 🇬🇧 is using all diplomatic efforts to ensure this happens, in collaboration with Türkiye and other international partners.

The Bab al-Hawa border crossing between Turkey and Syria is a vital route for life-saving aid for millions of Syrians.

Humanitarian needs in Syria are now at their highest ever levels. I visited the crossing point earlier today with @BWoodward_UN and Ann Snow, @UKSyriaRep +

“Birleşik Krallık hükümeti tarafından finanse edilen 11 kişilik Acil Sağlık Ekibi, bu öğleden sonra Türkiye'ye gitmek üzere Brize Norton'dan ayrıldı.

Saha kliniğine sahip ekip, Türkiye ve Suriye'yi vuran depremde yaralananlara acil müdahalede bulunacak.”👇

The British Embassy and consulates fly flags at half mast in Türkiye, where a period of national mourning has been declared following the earthquake on Monday.

[Moonis Elahi @MoonisElahi]

I said this several days ago. Now this imported government has one of its key members in place. He has come on a two point agenda. 1. Extend tenure for at least a year. 2. Do all that he can to damage PTI and @ChParvezElahi /Ch Wajahat sb families.

[Kenan Poleo @KenanPoleo]

I visited the site of yesterday’s despicable terrorist attack on #Istiklal Street, together with my fellow Consul Generals.

I hope #Istanbul never experiences such an atrocity again.

One more time, geçmiş olsun!
