With #COP28 underway, it was great to meet Barbados Prime Minister @miaamormottley, one of the world’s most powerful advocates for climate action and a bigger, better, fairer international finance system.

On this, and so much else, the UK and Barbados are close partners, and will continue to work together to make progress.

The UK strongly supported the UN Security Council's resolution authorising Kenya to lead a multinational security support mission to Haiti. Receiving the much needed assistance that its government has requested is the first step towards a safer and more stable Haiti.
