Today we mourn the loss of a great man and excellent leader - General Sir Mike Jackson. A soldier’s soldier, he was respected and admired for his conscientious leadership, fierce intellect, and straight-talking approach. He will be sorely missed.

Very honoured and humbled to jump into Ginkel Heath this morning, marking the 80th Anniversary of Operation MARKET GARDEN. A chance to pause and reflect on the high courage and selfless sacrifice of those from Allied Airborne Forces who fought and died for the freedom of us all.

The annual UK-Pakistan Regional Stabilisation conference brought key partners together to ensure security and regional stability. Security threats consistently cross borders, and cooperation is key. Thank you to the @NDU_EDU for hosting us.
