@Dicker_JJ Also me, in my essay, “ unfortunately these conclusions, whilst interesting results of the author’s research, are not able to be applied in the policy making arena.”

@Dicker_JJ “Ambassador, you and your team did a great job on this visit”

Amb: “Thank you. It was my pleasure”

[Alexandra Cole @UKAlexCole]

@Dicker_JJ You forgot “The Minister needs his briefing pack reprinted before his next meeting” usually quickly followed by “who can actually print?” Or “does anyone know how to add a printer?”…

A day late but not too late to celebrate the joy of learning new languages and the experiences they open to you! I am currently learning a language for my next job and it is so much fun! Although the Genitive case not so much…

Happy #EuropeanDayOfLanguages ! 🗣️

Language skills are vital for diplomats. They help us get under the skin of a country, understand its people, and show our respect for other countries and their cultures. 🤲

أنا ممتنة جدًا لفرصة دراسة العربية بدوام كامل في @FCDOGovUK 💚🇸🇦

@SoVeryBritish “If I remember correctly” - I definitely remember correctly and am now furious that you apparently have not!!

@diplomattitude @UKinBoston @dave_clay And let’s be real here, I’ve been to receptions on the role of women in peace diplomacy where all the senior attendees were male! 😏

[Alexandra Cole @UKAlexCole]

@diplomattitude Appreciate that @diplomattitude was making a joke but thought it might be helpful for their followers to see the actual origin of this photo @UKinBoston @dave_clay

This was so much fun. Delighted that the first event I hosted in the residence since moving to Boston was to celebrate this year's Marshall Scholars.

Feeling very confident that the scholarships will become one of my favourite parts of this job.

In 2021 Afghan women started an online campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos of what traditional Afghan clothes look like, sharing #AfghanistanCulture and #AfghanWomen tags.

🛫 On a visit to @RAF_Leeming today, The Queen met @RoyalAirForce personnel and their families, as well as Qatari Emiri Air Force pilots.

👩‍✈️Her Majesty, who is the Honorary Air Commodore for RAF Leeming, also heard about the welfare support offered at the base to aviators and their families. Allotments, 🐓chicken coups and beehives 🐝 help to make up the ‘Wellness Area’.

✈️ 👋 Before departing, The Queen watched a flypast of Hawk Jets, piloted by British and Qatari aviators who train together on site. 🇬🇧🇶🇦

Head to https://t.co/qE9dcx9h5x (link in bio) to find out more about The Queen’s visit.

Congratulations to these Qatari graduates and all their colleagues! 💂👏🇬🇧🇶🇦

[UK in Qatar 🇬🇧🇶🇦 @ukinqatar]

The latest batch of graduates from @RMASandhurst includes some outstanding Qatari officers who come from a great heritage. The links between Sandhurst and Qatar go back generations and are central to our shared history.

Nice to see you again ambassador @npatelFCDO, we appreciate the Uk’s continued role with regional & international partners to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and allow access to humanitarian aid.
