Partnership will help overcome hardships

This is an extraordinary moment for all nations as we wrestle with huge, interlinked challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, economic uncertainty and a range of security threats.

To meet these challenges and come out stronger, we need to work together more closely. The UK has a unique offer for East Africa – and that is what I discussed during my visit to the region last week, meeting leaders in Kenya, Sudan and Ethiopia.
