Great momentum for UK–Indonesia trade.
We’ve signed a new Economic Growth Partnership which is a great boost for UK firms.
A flexible, business‑focused framework to tackle market access barriers and unlock more opportunities in a trading relationship already worth billions.
Last week went a little like…
🌏 @HMTCAsiaPacific met APAC Trade Envoys to explore recent and future opportunities to boost trade
🇮🇩 @NazShahBfd met @citylordmayor to discuss boosting UK–Indonesia trade
🤝 @biztradegovuk hosted Economy Ministers at the Western Balkans Summit
Honoured to present my credentials to President Marcos as 🇬🇧 Ambassador to 🇵🇭. I return after almost 20 years, with a renewed commitment to our ever-growing partnership. Matibay ang ating samahan at malalim and ating pagkakaibigan. May it continue to be so in the years ahead!
With @ADSgroupUK we also had chance to speak with @SystematicGroup, Angoka, and get a process update from with @Thermoteknix who were part of the @UKinJordan Defence Mission Lord McNicol joined earlier this year.
We were delighted to join #ASEANDay at @ASEAN.
We’re glad our friends & Minister of @Kemlu_RI H.E. Sugiono & SecGen of @ASEAN@hourn_kao enjoyed a taste of the UK with our classic scones & tea 🇬🇧🫖
Here’s to friendship, flavour, & a thriving #UKASEAN partnership! 🌏🤝
Serving as thesecond, and first female, UK Amb to ASEAN has been a great honour!
I’m deeply grateful for the chance to work not just with @ASEAN, but with its people, the heart of this region.
Thank you for the memories, the partnerships, & the friendships.
Sampai jumpa.👋

Glad to now be working with @DKMS_uk, too, to share my story even further, underlining the importance of continuing to grow the stem cell registers, and what it can mean for those like me with life-threatening conditions.
“I’d gone for run feeling perfectly fine. Less than 24 hours later, I was having a blood transfusion. That’s how fast life can change.
Dan, 31, was fit and enjoying life to the full when he was given the diagnosis of aplastic anaemia, a rare and life-threatening blood disorder.
