There's changes to travel processes for UK nationals. Important to have seen how implementation of the European Entry-Exit System is progressing at @Schiphol, where Brits make up nearly 1 in 10 of travellers passing through! Thank you to them & @Marechaussee @MinisterieAenM

Proud to back Prof @DapoAkandeLaw as 🇬🇧's candidate for @CIJ_ICJ judge in 2026 - his integrity, experience & global perspective make him an outstanding choice for judge. Loved hosting him this week as he discussed how he would uphold the rule of law. 🔗 https://t.co/jr7FwDYMGO

Security today is about more than defence, and UK/NL are the closest of partners. Threats are connected - and so are we. This agreement brings everything we do across security into one framework to keep us safe and resilient - we will do even more together.

The UK-Netherlands security partnership paves the way for enhanced cooperation with one of our closest NATO Allies. From action against state-sponsored hybrid threats, to tackling vile people smuggling gangs, unity among European neighbours has never been more important.🤝🇬🇧🇳🇱

We’re showing our renewed commitment to strengthening cooperation on cyber and state threats, serious organised crime, energy security, economic growth, and science and research in our bilateral security partnership. Strong UK-NL ties remain vital for security and prosperity. 2/2

With friends and colleagues remembering the Korean War. Lovely occasion, marking individual service with awards, beautiful music and moving words. No longer the “Forgotten War” (My wonderful great uncle was shot down as a navigator - amazingly surviving)
