As minhas mais sentidas condolências às famílias de todos os que perderam a vida no trágico acidente de autocarro na ilha do Fogo, e a todo o povo cabo-verdiano. Desejo uma rápida recuperação a todos os feridos.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Bonnie Tyler. A much-loved British artist, she touched millions around the world with her music and enjoyed an enduring connection with Portugal. My thoughts are with her family, friends and fans in here in Portugal, the UK and beyond.

We are not the Britain of the Brexit years anymore.
We must look outwards, and work with our European neighbours to keep our country safe.
There is no British security without Europe, and no European security without Britain.

The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin.
We and our partners will make use of all policy levers at our disposal to continue to hold Russia to account.

É com grande tristeza que acompanho os danos causados pela tempestade Kristin, que trouxe tanta destruição e perda de vidas. Os meus sentimentos vão para todos os afetados, e agradeço o trabalho incansável dos serviços de emergência. O Reino Unido está solidário com Portugal.

Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes.
We have also made clear that Arctic Security matters for the whole of NATO and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.
Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration.
Estou profundamente triste com o falecimento do Dr. José Filomeno Monteiro, antigo Ministro e um dos mais ilustres políticos de Cabo Verde.
Desejo as mais sentidas condolências à sua família e entes queridos, e ao povo cabo-verdiano neste momento de luto nacional.
Num contexto global desafiante, é ótimo ver Portugal reconhecido como “economia do ano” pelo @TheEconomist.
Um sinal encorajador do dinamismo do país e um excelente pano de fundo para continuarmos a fortalecer a relação económica com o nosso mais antigo aliado 🇬🇧🇵🇹
For the fifth year in a row, The Economist has crowned the “economy of the year”—and it is good news for southern Europe econ.st/4rKovCs

My heartfelt sympathies go to everyone injured in the Algarve tornado today, including the family of the British national who sadly lost her life.
We are in close contact with Portuguese authorities and our consular staff are ready to provide support.

Terrible news of severe storm in Albufeira. My deep condolences to the family of a British woman who died & those injured.
We are monitoring developments closely & stand ready to support any affected British nationals.
Please continue to follow advice of local authorities.
⚽️ Always a pleasure to cheer on UK teams in Portugal, especially when it’s reigning champions @ArsenalWFC taking on @SLBenfica in the @UWCL.
A solid 2–0 win for Arsenal! Big shoutout to the Lionesses making England proud abroad 🏴🇵🇹

Parabéns, Tubarões Azuis, pela qualificação histórica para o Mundial 2026! 🇨🇻
Esta conquista extraordinária é motivo de grande orgulho para Cabo Verde e uma inspiração para todos nós. Estou entusiasmada por ver esta seleção estrear no maior palco do futebol mundial.
Agradecemos profundamente a solidariedade do Primeiro Ministro @LMontenegro_PT depois do ataque chocante em Manchester.
O apoio de Portugal é muito importante para o Reino Unido 🇬🇧🇵🇹
Portugal está solidário com os familiares das vítimas do deplorável ataque junto a uma sinagoga em Manchester, no Reino Unido.
A luta contra a intolerância deve mobilizar-nos a todos. Deixei ao primeiro-ministro britânico, @Keir_Starmer, com quem reuni esta manhã, todo o apoio.
I'm devastated by the tragic accident at Lisbon's Glória funicular and commend the swift response of the emergency services. My thoughts are with the victims; their families, friends, and the people of Lisbon at this time of sorrow.

From family roots to career moves, here's what happened when she met with @DavidLammy.
🏆Huge congratulations to the @Lionesses on an incredible @WEuro2025. Back-to-back Euros titles and a performance to be proud of. What a team! 🦁❤️
Best of luck to the @Lionesses as they take on Spain in the @WEuro2025 final. Let’s bring it home again!
Another dramatic game! Amazing to see our @Lionesses once again in the @WEURO2025 finals! Let’s bring the second title home!
