It was a great pleasure to meet cricketing legend Devon Malcolm last night at the Easter Banquet which was delayed from Easter this year!

The Easter Banquet is an annual event at Mansion House which provides an opportunity for the Foreign Secretary to make a keynote address to the London Diplomatic Corps. There were three speeches: the Lord Mayor, the Foreign Secretary, and the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps (His Excellency Ivan Romero-Martinez, Ambassador of Honduras).

I had very good conversations with Pedro Serran, EU Ambassador, on a wide range of the current geopolitical issues and challenges.
