Congratulations to the #PNG Barramundis for qualifying for the 2024 @T20WorldCup as East Asia Pacific champions. Thanks for a great final day at Amini Park yesterday. Can’t wait for a PNG v Scotland final!
Huge honour - as always - to join the Governor-General and others yesterday in laying a wreath and paying respects at #PNG’s National Remembrance Day. Lest we forget.
HMS Tamar has been in town on her first visit to #PNG. Evidence of the UK’s commitment to a free and open Pacific and strengthening ties with the PNG Defence Force.
I hope that is some of #PNG’s world class speciality coffee (supported by the UK Trade Partnership Programme) that Minister Maru is handing over…
Productive meetings with my counterparts from Fiji and Papua New Guinea at #CTMM 🇬🇧🌏

Earlier this year, Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly saw first-hand how Pacific islands are responding to the threat of climate change.
Today he hosted Leaders of Small Island Developing States on the eve of the #Coronation and called for urgent action to protect them from disaster.

Port Moresby’s Bomana Commonwealth War Cemetery - with almost 4,000 graves - was a moving and poignant setting for #AnzacDay2023 in #PNG, especially as the mist lifted and last post played. An honour and a privilege as always to be able to pay my respects here. #LestWeForget

🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly is in Tokyo for the @G7 Foreign Minister's meeting.
He will travel onto 🇵🇬 🇸🇧 🇼🇸 🇳🇿
" Throughout my visit, I will build on commitments to our friends across the Pacific nations in their bid to promote peace and prosperity in the region"
Not the traditional festive decorations at Moresby House today. Anyone might think there’s a big match on later… Best of luck from #PNG to @England in the #FIFAWorldCup quarter final vs France!
I can think of few more peaceful and special places to mark #RemembranceDay than the Commonwealth War Cemetery at Bomana, Port Moresby, #PNG. Thanks to the Returned and Services League for another beautiful and poignant service. #LestWeForget

1/2 - Day 1 of our 🇬🇧 #Oceania Heads of Mission Conference in Wellington.
Our #HighCommissioners from across the #Pacific, #ANZ & our @FCDOGovUK Director @JoelleJenny strike a collective pose.
An excellent set of discussions & shared sense of #commonpurpose.
I raised the Union flag at my Moresby House residence in Port Moresby #PNG today to mark the formal accession of King Charles III. It will return to half-mast tomorrow until the day after the funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
I passed on my deepest condolences today at Government House to His Excellency the Governor-General of #PNG and the Prime Minister on the sad occasion of the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth - our Queen. May she Rest In Peace. God Save the King.
