Ah now this is sweet...Can't wait to tuck into these lovely goodies for a traditional Canadian #SugarShack breakfast this weekend to celebrate spring, courtesy of our friends at @CanadianUK - flipping marvellous! #CanadaHouse 🥞🍁☀️
Vital info shared at our Unlocking Lockdown eForum with partner @Cigna on how embassies can ensure a #covid-safe return to work & advice on managing hybrid working & mental health. Thanks to panellists @RobinlewisHR, Jeff Lake & Liz Dunsford @CityWestminster Janice Lo @PHE_London

An example of good and sensible diplomacy on the margins of the #G7 foreign ministers meeting. EU Ambassador @ValedeAlmeidaEU to be accorded the same status as other heads of mission in the UK 👇@EUdelegationUK twitter.com/JosepBorrellF/…
Pleased to announce with @DominicRaab an agreement on the status of our EU Ambassador and EU Delegation to the UK. My thanks for this and an extremely productive & well-hosted 2-day #G7UK meeting. https://t.co/dgi8NuyLZM@EUdelegationUK pic.twitter.com/3QeQ1bGoxE
