The UK is greatly concerned by the escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
We call on all parties to respect the territorial integrity of states and avoid any actions that could further escalate tensions.
Such a great opportunity to recognise and thank all those working tirelessly to protect the UK’s borders and tackle illegal migration.

We strongly condemn today's appalling attack on King Khalid International Airport, and our thoughts are with all those affected.
