James Squire

Glückwunsch an die Schweiz 🇨🇭 zum Sieg an der Eishockey-WM in Zurich! Mitgefühl für Grossbritannien 🇬🇧 – eine kämpferische Leistung und ein starkes Tor. 
Es war mir eine Freude, das Spiel gemeinsam mit den Schweizer Wirtschaftslegenden Walter Frey & Peter Spuhler zu verfolgen.

Fantastic atmosphere in Zurich tonight with a brave & tenacious @TeamGBicehockey performance against a formidable 🇨🇭Swiss side at the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. A real privilege to meet the team in the locker room. Good luck Team 🇬🇧 for the rest of the tournament !

🇬🇧🇨🇭 It was a honour to welcome James Squire, His Majesty's Ambassador to the Swiss Confederation British Embassy Berne, to the Great Britain locker room ahead of tonight's game with Switzerland. On Wednesday evening, the Ambassador invited members of the Great Britain and Ice Hockey UK management to dinner in Zurich ➡️ tinyurl.com/y2zemfn2

@AppAusserrhoden @UKEmbassyBerne @AndreaCaroniAR Vielen Dank, @AppAusserrhoden, für den herzlichen Empfang und das abwechslungsreiche Programm.     Von humanitärer Geschichte über politischen Austausch bis zu Gesprächen mit jungen Menschen und dem Besuch an der Schwägalp war es ein bereichernder Tag. #GREATVisit

@AppAusserrhoden @UKEmbassyBerne @AndreaCaroniAR Ein besonderer Höhepunkt des Besuchs war der Austausch mit Schülerinnen & Schülern des 2 Gymnasiums & FMS an der Kantonsschule Trogen zur Zukunft der 🇨🇭🇬🇧-Beziehungen, ergänzt durch einige originelle Überraschungen. Vielen Dank an Andrea Caroni & Lukas Geiger für die Koordination

Heute bin ich in Appenzell Ausserrhoden unterwegs, um mehr über die Geschichte, Politik, Bildung und beeindruckende Landschaft dieses Kantons zu erfahren. #GREATVisit   Ich freue mich auf spannende Begegnungen und danke allen, die diesen Besuch möglich machen.  @AppAusserrhoden

@AppAusserrhoden @UKEmbassyBerne @AndreaCaroniAR Zum Abschluss ging es an den Fuss des Säntis nach Schwägalp. Vielen Dank an Jakob Gülünay für den herzlichen Empfang und die spannenden Einblicke in diese besondere Region. Ein eindrücklicher Ort, um den Tag in @AppAusserrhoden abzurunden.

Fascinating visit to Payerne to see the Swiss Air Force in action @vbs_ddps Encouraging to hear more about our valued 🇬🇧–🇨🇭 defence cooperation really taking off, including hosting Swiss pilots for night flying training @RAF_Leeming ✈️ Merci Colonel Leuthold & Colonel Logan!

Dame Karen Pierce DCMG has received the Freedom of the City of London, in recognition of her outstanding public service and contribution to international affairs. Regarded as one of the UK’s most senior diplomats and a leading figure in British foreign policy, she was appointed in March 2025 as UK Special Envoy for the Western Balkans. Dame Karen has the unique distinction of being the first woman to hold the posts of British Ambassador to the United States and UK Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York. @UN @FCDOGovUK news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/first-female-b…

On VE Day, we honour the courage and sacrifice of those who helped bring an end to the Second World War in Europe. Their service, and the collective effort of many nations, secured the freedoms we value today. #VEDay

We wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday. His passion for the natural world has galvanised international action to preserve it like nobody else.

@UKEmbassyBerne @KantonGL Congratulations to Landamann Markus Heer on his election yesterday and thanks to the whole Glarus Cantonal government for the excellent exchange on 🇬🇧-Glarus cooperation & visit to the Berggasthaus Schwammhöhe overlooking the stunning Klöntalersee.

Thank you to Director Martina Huggel for a fascinating visit to the Museum Des Landes Glarus: an exquisitely preserved seventeenth century gem built with the extraordinary wealth that Kaspar Freuler obtained from mercenary services to the King of France. Sehr empfehlenswert !

Wonderful to be in Glarus yesterday & today with a focus on history, politics & Switzerland’s lived tradition of direct democracy. #GREATVisit Hoping to discover more about its unique identity - and whether it is part of Ostschweiz or Zentralschweiz!

Am #EPCYerevan2026 treffe ich auf verschiedene Staatschefs, wie zum Beispiel @Keir_Starmer 🇬🇧, @donaldtusk 🇵🇱 oder @MarkJCarney 🇨🇦. Solch kurze Gespräche helfen, die Beziehungen zwischen unseren Ländern zu festigen.

Sehr beeindruckend heute die Landsgemeinde in Glarus erleben zu dürfen: ein starkes Symbol der direkten Demokratie & des politischen Engagements des Bevölkerung. Ein echtes Privileg zusammen mit hochrangigen Gästen aus der Politik, darunter der Ständeratspräsident, dabei zu sein

A pleasure to catch up with Ständerat @ThierryBurkart today. As likeminded partners and friends, strong 🇬🇧-🇨🇭cooperation matters more than ever: from European security, to research & innovation, to negotiations for an ambitions new free trade agreement.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 Centuries of history. A future built together. The President and First Lady welcomed Their Majesties to the @WhiteHouse today, marking the formal opening of their historic State Visit. As America celebrates its 250th year, the United Kingdom and the United States look ahead together – united by shared history, values, and ambition. President Trump said: “In the centuries since we won our independence, Americans have had no closer friends than the British. We share that same root. We speak the same language. We hold the same values, and together our warriors have defended the same extraordinary civilization under twin banners of red, white and blue.” #America250 #GreaterTogether #StateVisit2026
