A pleasure to welcome Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen to London.

From supporting Ukraine until they are victorious, to deeper cooperation on security, the new UK-Finland strategic partnership brings us even closer.

UK aid has reached Gaza through the Cyprus Maritime Corridor.

This is a major step forward. The floating pier will mean we can deliver up to 150 trucks of additional aid a day

We need to see more aid reach Gaza through land, sea and air routes.
