Thank you, Croatia - it has been an honour and a privilege to be ambassador here. You welcomed me with open arms, showed me the best of your beautiful country, and together we brought our two countries closer. I couldn’t have asked for more. Hvala vama svima, od srca. 🇬🇧🇭🇷 ❤️ 👋

Today I met HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh on the margins of CSW70. We discussed the importance of championing women’s rights and combating conflict-related sexual violence as well as the vital role of women in peacebuilding and justice worldwide.

In an increasingly unpredictable world, we need a stronger, more effective UN, better able to respond to present challenges. The UK strongly supports the Secretary General’s UN80 reform initiative. 🇬🇧🇺🇳

Promoting and protecting human rights was one of the founding purposes of the United Nations. 80 years on, that task remains central to the UN’s work - and to ours at @UKUN_NewYork. 🇬🇧🇺🇳

Really useful couple of days at the UN with the UK’s Special Envoy on Freedom of Religion or Belief, David Smith MP. A packed programme, but lots of good conversations and advocacy on this important issue. 🇬🇧🇺🇳

A busy first week in my new role. From conflict to climate, gender equality to AI, I’ve been constantly reminded of the breadth and urgency of the challenges the world faces, and the importance of nations coming together to solve them. It’s a privilege to represent the UK here.

Last day in @FCDOGovUK after 36 years. 7 postings. 10 Prime Ministers. 17 Foreign Secretaries. A life less ordinary. Proud to have served my country through thick and thin. Grateful for my amazing colleagues, and to have swum with the tide of change for #womenindiplomacy 🌊💃.

"Veleposlanici su važni, ali znam da su odnosi UK i Hrvatske dobri zbog dobrog odnosa između običnih ljudi. U svim dijelovima Hrvatske osjetio sam tu toplinu i spremnost na suradnju između naših dviju država." @UKSimonT za @N1Hrvatska n1info.hr/vijesti/britan…

Quite the hike on a warm summer’s day, but worth the spectacular view from the top of Veliki Risnjak (1528m). ⛰️🥾😍
