It will save the lives of millions of children around the world, to grow up safe from deadly diseases like cholera and measles. And it will make the world and the UK healthier and safer, helping prevent future pandemics. 2/3

With @Gavi the UK is building a healthier, safer world, helping over 1 billion children grow up immunised against deadly diseases. It is a partnership based on sharing expertise. Gavi puts our scientists on the world stage and supports British jobs at firms like @GSK.

It is partnership based on the UK’s world-leading expertise, not just money. By rolling out vaccines developed by British scientists, Gavi puts our best brains and their innovations on the world stage, and supports UK jobs and growth. gov.uk/government/new… 3/3

Our modern approach to development means focussing on where we can have the biggest impact, and on areas the UK can lead. We must ensure every pound delivers for the UK taxpayer and the people we support. Our partnership with @Gavi does just that. 1/3

My Op-Ed with Muhammad Ali Pate: telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

1 Billion children vaccinated, 18 million lives saved and $250 billion injected into the global economy. The UK is proud to partner with @Gavi to make it happen. Our investment will boost growth, protect us from deadly diseases and save up to 8 million lives by 2030.

A historic moment in the pursuit of justice and accountability for Ukraine. Since 2022 @Keir_Starmer and I have supported the idea for a Special Tribunal to prosecute those responsible for Russia’s war of aggression. This Agreement takes us a step closer to bringing it to life.
