There is so much more I could have said .. Uzbekistan is where Ulugh Beg’s observatory was mapping stars in the 15th century, and the native region of the man from whom we get the word ‘algorithm’. But mainly this is about travels with my mother!
Central Asia is of huge strategic importance, straddling Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
That's why Foreign Secretary @David_Cameron visited 6 countries in 5 days across the region this week 🔽
When I visited Kazakhstan as PM 11 years ago, we agreed our first strategic partnership.
Today we’ve agreed to do even more, with a new Cooperation Agreement across education, trade and climate action.
Көп рақмет, Қазақстан!

The ongoing flooding in Kazakhstan has devastated communities across the north and west of the country. My thoughts are with all who have been impacted, especially those who have had to evacuate.
The countries of Central Asia are on the front line of climate change. The UK stands ready to help.
I started living in #Uzbekistan🇺🇿 9 months ago. During this time, I have found the country safe, welcoming and culturally & historically fascinating. My Uzbek hosts greet visitors with warm smiles and often offer a piala of tea.
As Ramadan concludes, we wish everyone a blessed #EidAlFitr. This momentous occasion, emblematic of faith and perseverance, is a time for kindness, reflection, and community. May this auspicious day strengthen the bonds of friendship and solidarity among us all. #EidMubarak🕌
When Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation shares information about sanctions threats, what format would be most helpful?🤔
OFSI are looking for feedback on financial sanctions compliance in the UK, and are interested in the viewpoint of law firms.

Splendid picture. The Royal Courts of Justice, beyond the church, had been open for 5 years when this was painted. I once worked in the building which replaced the rightmost frontage shown here
Given the news Master McCloud is leaving the judiciary, an example here of her ability to explain and even entertain. An all-too-rare example of a judge who can make a ruling accessible without dumbing down. https://t.co/IgexM7QV1p
