Great to meet Tanzanian Deputy Foreign Minister Hon Mbarouk @mfa_tanzania following #CFAMM. The UK 🇬🇧 🇹🇿 relationship is long-standing. We discussed the progress made in 🇹🇿 under President @SuluhuSamia and cooperation on trade, education and climate change.

@TXFMedia hosting the panel of #ECA CEOs. Like the banks, full focus on #energytransition, but with varying speeds of withdrawal of support for new fossil fuel projects. UKEF ahead of the pack in this respect.

Special thanks to the SAF Association and Colonel Rtd David Bennett for an excellent talk on the UK’s defence hub at Duqm. We cannot wait to be hosting more events soon!✨🙌🏻 #british#omani#duqm#togetheragain
@SarahLudford Most healthcare specialists agree that abandoning all restrictions at a time when infections are out of control is foolish. So it’s now up to the sensible majority to take it upon themselves to voluntarily continue with sensible measures which I believe they will
