I welcome the important agreement today by 🇮🇪 Presidency on protecting children online. There is no higher priority than the protection of children from predators. Combatting abuse is vital.

During the recent disorder in Belfast, we saw the vital role that civil society organisations can play in very challenging times.

I believe that we must support women affected by abuse if we are to see stronger cohesion in Northern Ireland.

I have ensured that this new strategy includes specific provisions for these types of projects, along with ones that promote the inclusion and development of women in civic society.

Our Gulf partners have been directly impacted by the conflict and have demonstrated commendable restraint in the face of Iranian attacks.
