We’ve just secured a historic trade deal with the Gulf.

This is a huge win for British business, and for working people who will feel the benefits in the years ahead.

We’ve secured five major trade deals with international partners - delivering on our commitment to drive economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen our economy.

#Azerbaijan Updated information following drone strikes in Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan https://t.co/aeVObXAfJ1

[UK in Azerbaijan @ukinazerbaijan]

The two Iranian drone strikes this morning in Nakhchivan are completely unacceptable. The UK firmly condemns any actions that threaten Azerbaijan’s security. We stand in solidarity with Azerbaijan and those affected at this difficult moment. We are following developments closely.

Due to ongoing regional tensions, we have updated our travel advice regarding entry to countries bordering Iran.
Iran’s borders with neighbouring countries may have restrictions for foreign travellers and may close at short notice.

If you are in Iran and plan to depart across a land border and consider it safe to do so, check the travel advice of the country you intend to enter before travelling to the border, including visa requirements: https://t.co/ZVV5hmuXmM

Travel advice is kept under regular review to ensure it reflects our latest assessment of risks to British nationals.

Defence and security cooperation sit at the heart of the 🇬🇧-🇦🇿 relationship.

The 🇬🇧 welcomes the progress made over the past year and is proud of the growing #UKAZDefence relationship 🤝

[Stephen Doughty HC MP @SDoughtyMP]

The UK’s support for Ukraine is iron-clad. We will continue to stand with them and to work for a just and lasting peace. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

We will keep turning up economic pressure on the Kremlin until Putin comes to the table ⬇️

My thoughts are with all those affected by the senseless Russian strikes on Kyiv which have damaged the British Council building.

Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace.

This bloodshed must end.

[UK in Azerbaijan @ukinazerbaijan]

Following the historic 🇦🇿-🇦🇲 peace progress, during the bilateral meeting with @Bayramov_Jeyhun, @SDoughtyMP offered congratulations and reiterated 🇬🇧's readiness to support peace-building and connectivity.

[UK in Azerbaijan @ukinazerbaijan]

Excellent meeting with H.E. @presidentaz, along with Minister @SDoughtyMP.

We are proud of the deep and broad 🇬🇧-🇦🇿 partnership, including trade and investment, security, climate change, energy and education.

Progress on peace and connectivity will transform the region.

[Ed Crymble @crymble_ed]

#Formula1 is my favourite season in Azerbaijan. The streets will transform and we welcome thousands of Brits to Baku. This means our @ukinazerbaijan team gears up Travel Advice and a consular response worthy of poll position.

17 May – International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.

We reaffirm our commitment to equality and human rights for all. No one anywhere should face violence, persecution, or exclusion because of who they are, who they love, or how they express themselves.

The UK is a close partner of #Azerbaijan. Good to meet @YalchinRafiyev this week to discuss regional stability, economic cooperation, and progressing our climate commitments.

I reiterated our support for Armenia & Azerbaijan to sign a peace agreement as soon as possible. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇿

[Ed Crymble @crymble_ed]

The 🇬🇧 flag flies half-mast in Baku in respect of Pope Francis.

His last “Urbi et Orbi” speech epitomised his tireless desire for peace, including between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

I hope+pray that we continue to be inspired by his legacy for a world without war and injustice.

[UK in Azerbaijan @ukinazerbaijan]

🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy called on Azerbaijan FM @Bayramov_Jeyhun to congratulate the recent news on the 🇦🇿-🇦🇲 peace agreement text. He underlined UK support to see this signed, stressing the importance to our continued partnership and regional peace and prosperity. 👏

[UK in Azerbaijan @ukinazerbaijan]

On 17 March 🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy addressed Parliament:

“#Armenia and #Azerbaijan concluded negotiations on an historic peace agreement. We warmly welcome that achievement and encourage both sides to move to signature as soon as possible”

[Ed Crymble @crymble_ed]

A really significant moment. Well done 🇦🇿 and 🇦🇲

[Stephen Doughty HC MP @SDoughtyMP]

The conclusion of negotiations on a peace agreement between #Armenia & #Azerbaijan is a historic moment that will bring decades of conflict to an end.

The desire for lasting peace is clear: I encourage both parties to sign the agreement as soon as possible to secure it.
