The UK Foreign Office invited me to the Global Partnerships Conference — and it was a privilege to be in the room. 🌍 @foreignanddevelopmentoffice

The conversations were frank, focused, and urgent. Three issues stayed with me.

AI & climate — used responsibly, artificial intelligence could predict climate disasters before they strike, accelerate vaccine delivery, and support communities in ways we're only beginning to understand.

Malaria — still one of the world's leading killers. Activist and award-winning choreographer Sherrie Silver spoke about losing her cousin to a disease that remains entirely preventable. That should not be happening in 2026. @sherriesilver

Violence against women and girls — Nour Norris shared how she lost her sister and niece, and how that loss became a lifelong commitment to change. This is a global issue that demands a global response. @nour.norris

The conclusion from the conference was clear: dialogue alone is not enough. Real progress requires countries to break down silos, share knowledge, and act together.

As poet laureate Ayan Aden put it — move. Please move. @ayanmoaden

📍Bulgaria. Meet Callie, Luna and Sprocket – three newly trained sniffer dogs detecting small boat parts and narcotics.

Not for show.
Not for tricks.
For our security.

Threats don’t stop at borders – and neither do we.

Strong partnerships. Strong paws on the ground 🐕

That’s one way how the UK and Bulgaria are working together to stop threats at source and keep our borders secure.

Europe has stepped up, and now, we’re going further to strengthen our collective defence.

Here in Sweden, NATO Allies are strengthening our support for Ukraine and we are drawing up a new wave of sanctions to maintain the military and economic pressure on Russia.

Douze points for Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and Bulgaria-UK cooperation! 🇬🇧

Delighted to visit our @nato ally and close friend and partner Bulgaria this week for talks with ministerial colleagues and to see our great cooperation on a range of issues.
 
…and congratulations on your first Eurovision win - a great moment of celebration and creativity 🎉

What does real partnership between nations actually look like? We spent two days at the Global Partnerships Conference asking that question and letting the people in the room answer it. The conversation was honest, the stakes are high, and the work is far from over.

Every extra year a girl spends in school, it reduces the risk of child marriage and increases her lifetime earnings.
That’s why girls’ education is not just about classrooms, it’s about safety, freedom and possibility.

I’m working with @GPforEducation, and had the chance to talk to the Foreign Secretary @yvettecooper.mp and the @foreignanddevelopmentoffice about why it’s so important for governments to invest in education globally, so more girls have the support, teachers and opportunities they need to thrive.

Meeting in Sweden today, Germany, France and the United Kingdom are discussing how Europe can continue to take more responsibility for defence within the strongest transatlantic Alliance in history 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇧

On Iran, we agreed there must be free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran must stop holding the global economy hostage.

We need a sustainable agreement that brings regional stability and addresses Iran’s nuclear programme. Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

I attended the Global Partnerships Conference to learn more about the partnerships forming between#n the UK and Africa ! @theglobalgoals@foreignanddevelopmentoffice

This is a modern and ambitious trade deal – the first that the Gulf Cooperation Council have made with a G7 country.

It's a strong signal of our solidarity with our Gulf partners and our confidence in each other's economies.
