Congratulations to the BBC South Atlantic Relay Station on Ascension Island as it celebrates sixty years of connecting global 🌍audiences to trusted broadcasting and news. In an era of shrinking press freedom and rising disinformation, this milestone matters more than ever. Thanks to this strategically important station, @bbcworldservice can reach millions of people around the world, highlighting the importance of Ascension Island as a member of the United Kingdom family and the value of our partnerships with @ascension_gov & Encompass Digital Media.

The Overseas Territories are a valued part of the British family 🇬🇧 Today, we are publishing a new United Kingdom-Overseas Territories Charter of Engagement, strengthening our modern, respectful and engaged partnership and ensuring the voices of the Territories are heard across Government.

Delighted to begin my first official visit as Minister to the Caribbean here in the Turks and Caicos Islands.   Continuing on from the discussions we had in London with the Premier of Turks and Caicos and partners on the issues that matter - from regional security to resilience in Haiti. The UK is committed to the prosperity of the TCI's people 🇹🇨. Thank you for the warm welcome.
