Tonight @UKinNZ invited some friends to watch ‘Wilding’. The film shows how a young British couple let their farm ‘run wild’ by re-introducing native animal species: with a staggering effect on biodiversity. A fascinating view on the Rewilding movement. wildingmovie.com

A significant meeting overnight between PMs @Keir_Starmer and @chrisluxonmp at #CHOGM2024. The leaders discussed the importance of the Commonwealth, and the opportunities it presented for all its members.

The UK is one of New Zealand’s oldest and closest partners. Together as Prime Ministers, @Keir_Starmer and I committed to that partnership. Together, we will work on shared issues such as economic growth, defence and global security.

It was incredibly special to attend an ‘ava welcome ceremony at the National University of Samoa. The ceremony involves the formal drinking of 'ava, made from the dried roots of the ‘ava plant, and brings together participants in a spirit of harmony.

Global collaboration is our only chance of stopping devastating biodiversity loss and leaving a better world for young people 🌍 That's why, when leaders and representatives from 56 Commonwealth countries meet in Samoa this week, climate change will be high on the agenda.
