The Houthis must cease their reckless escalation & attacks in Yemen & the wider region.
In London today, I met UN Special Envoy @OSE_Yemen Hans Grundberg to discuss the catastrophic situation and humanitarian crisis facing Yemenis & how the UN can help diplomatic efforts.

Iran’s attacks on our Gulf partners and civilian vessels in Omani waters are unacceptable.
We call for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy.

I strongly welcome the announcement of an agreement between the US and Iran.
It is vital that toll-free freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is swiftly restored, so international shipping can get moving again to help the global economy and families here at home. The UK stands ready with France and other countries to support that process as needed.
Our longstanding position is that Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The UK is ready to support the technical work to ensure that vital objective is implemented.
This agreement is important for regional and global security and for the international economy. Thank you to all those involved in negotiations including Pakistan and Qatar. It is vital that progress continues - we stand ready to help make it a lasting peace.

We’ve just secured a historic trade deal with the Gulf.
This is a huge win for British business, and for working people who will feel the benefits in the years ahead.
We’ve secured five major trade deals with international partners - delivering on our commitment to drive economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen our economy.
Our new trade deal with the Gulf will deliver for British businesses and working people.
This is our fifth major trade deal, driving growth, jobs and boosting the UK economy.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the senseless Russian strikes on Kyiv which have damaged the British Council building.
Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace.
This bloodshed must end.
