Astana has some of the most dramatic architecture I have seen anywhere. We walked along the wide boulevard linking the huge Khan Shatyr tent (designed by Norman Foster), the golden Baiterek tower (which you can ascend) and the Ak Orda presidential palace. Impressive.
I had my first taste of kumis, fermented mare’s milk - tangy, lemony and slightly sour. #Kazakhfood
Today I visited ALZHIR, the Akmolinsk camp for wives of tractors of the motherland- established in 1937 for families of victims of Stalin’s repression. It tells the story through documents, the women’s possessions, photos, reconstructions and a moving memorial to those who died.

Great @UNPeacebuilding visit to Mauritania. Communities near Mali border facing migration, climate change, water shortages, wildfires and violent extremism. Projects help with conflict resolution, access to water, reforestation, tackling extremism and empowering women.

A huge milestone for @UKinHolySee & our relationship with 🇻🇦 involving much team work stretching back to our predecessors @SallyAxworthy & @JoanneCappa. Well done to all involved & thanks to our neighbours including @IrlEmbHolySee @UKRinVAT for the warm welcome to the building!
This morning, after more then two years of planning and building, @UKinHolySee moved into new offices. Much closer to our hosts in the Vatican. I look forward to a proper opening ceremony in due course.
