This afternoon, I sat down to write Thank You letters to our speakers at the #KigaliSummit. Honourable @AbeShinzo was on my list 😭. Such is the insanity of our world that someone's life can just be stolen! Praying for Akie Abe who I had the pleasure of meeting in #Japan in 2019.

These cuts to NTD interventions will have a devastating effect on people’s lives and will weaken the UK’s resilience to any future pandemics. We’re proud to stand with our partners in calling for @BorisJohnson to reverse this decision: https://t.co/NFuzNh7S21 #beatNTDs
