Happy #IWD26! Empowering women empowers the region, and women are at the heart of our work with @ASEAN, from foundational learning and MSMEs to higher education and climate resilience. #AdvancingTogether #GivetoGain #ForAllWomenandGirls #UKASEAN

ASEAN has upheld peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific for decades. The UK is proud to mark five years as a Dialogue Partner.   Together we have worked to strengthen cooperation on security, promote growth and education and tackle climate change. And our work together goes on.

Celebrating 5 years of the ASEAN–UK Dialogue Partnership. Min @SeemaMalhotra1 met @ASEAN Permanent Representatives to mark the anniversary & reaffirm UK support for ASEAN’s leadership. A Women, Peace & Security discussion & shared priorities show how we’re #AdvancingTogether.

Milestone reached! UK Minister for Indo-Pacific @SeemaMalhotra1 signed an MoU with @ADB_HQ Vice President Yu to support the ASEAN Power Grid, accelerating Southeast Asia's clean energy transition while creating opportunities for British green exports and expertise in the region.

A good exchange with Cambodia’s new Perm Rep H.E. Noy Choumneanh about priorities including development in ASEAN &!how flagship UK programmes contribute. I look forward to working together as we celebrate 5 years of Dialogue Partnership & plan for the future. #UKASEAN

The UK is building modern partnerships across the Indo-Pacific that will make us more secure and prosperous at home. I wrote about why a free and open Indo-Pacific matters and what the UK is doing in the region ⬇️ thediplomat.com/2026/02/china-…

Stop the attacks. Return the children. Leave Ukraine. Russia must end its war.

Delighted to meet H.E. Prinat Apirat, Thailand’s new Perm Rep to ASEAN. We discussed the fifth anniversary of our thriving ASEAN-UK partnership, and our focus on delivering real results on our shared priorities in security, trade & sustainable development. Welcome Ambassador!

We’re pleased to welcome UK Minister for the Indo-Pacific @SeemaMalhotra1 to the Philippines as we mark 80 years of UK–PH ties and the PH ASEAN Chair role. She will lead the UK–PH Strategic Dialogue and meet govt & civil society on priorities for growth, security & stability.

A real pleasure to see Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper meet the @ASEAN Secretary‑General as we mark five years of the UK as an ASEAN Dialogue Partner. A milestone built on trust and shared purpose, and a reminder of how far we can go as we continue #AdvancingTogether. #UKASEAN5

ASEAN is a key UK partner, geopolitically and economically. Trade reached nearly £54bn in 2024 and opportunities are growing. Trade Minister Chris Bryant met @ASEAN Sec-Gen to deepen cooperation, with digital innovation central to our shared growth. #UKASEAN5 #AdvancingTogether

Productive discussion today between UK Indo‑Pacific Minister Seema Malhotra and @ASEAN Sec‑Gen Dr Kao Kim Hourn on trade, innovation and the UK’s long‑term regional engagement. Marking 5 years as Dialogue Partner - committed to an open, stable, prosperous Indo‑Pacific. #UKASEAN5

Teaching at the Right Level is giving children in Cambodia the chance to learn at their own pace, rebuilding confidence step by step. 🇰🇭 🇬🇧 @ASEAN @HelenFazey @BritishCouncil @SEAMEO_S

Welcome news of a renewed ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. 
  Important that we now see continued dialogue and sustained implementation, supported by @ASEAN, to put in place the conditions for long term peace.

🌏 Health threats don’t stop at borders. From pandemics to drug resistance, they affect us all. That’s why @ASEAN & the UK are working together, stronger policies, better labs, and a One Health approach to protect people, animals & our planet. 💙 #ASEANUKHSP #OneHealth #UKASEAN

The UK wants to see an end to hostilities on the Thai-Cambodia border and no further harm to civilians. Speaking to Vice Minister Vijavat and Deputy Prime Minister Prak, I reiterated the need for dialogue. We welcome efforts from the US, Malaysia and others to support this.

ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation are a great partner for @ukmissionasean on involvement of women and youth in peace & security work. Great to meet Amb. I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja and his team to explore further collaboration opportunities. #ThrivingPartnership

Deadly storms are causing horrific devastation across Asia, particularly Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and India. The UK is talking to our partners about what support may be needed and is monitoring the situation closely. Our thoughts are with those affected.
