Diplomacy and de-escalation are our priority.

I’ve been in important discussions with regional partners at this year’s @IISS_org Manama Dialogue in #Bahrain this weekend on the stability and security challenges facing the Middle East, and their impact on the UK.

Fantastic turnout at Penarth Remembrance ceremony, march & church today.

Wonderful to see so many veterans, families, serving armed forces members & uniformed services with support from the public along route. A fitting tribute to service and sacrifice. Thanks to all organisers.

An honour to meet @PresidentRashad of Yemen earlier this week.

We discussed the intolerable suffering caused by Houthi escalation in Taiz and across Yemen.

The UK stands with the Yemeni people & continues to provide vital humanitarian support.

🇬🇧🤝🇾🇪

Over 200 years of friendship underpin the UK-Bahrain relationship.

An honour to meet HRH Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa this week at the #ManamaDialogue.

Bahrain is a vital partner for the UK on trade, investment, defence & regional security.

🇬🇧🤝🇧🇭

Appalled by death of Mohamed el Shami in Houthi custody, the second @UN aid worker to die in detention.

The UK calls for the immediate & unconditional release of UN workers arbitrarily detained.

We condemn unacceptable blocking of vital aid to Yemenis in need.
