Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron said we are in “very unstable, uncertain and dangerous times” as he travelled to Davos for high-level talks.

He will meet US counterpart Antony Blinken and Ukraine’s Dmytro Kuleba at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort.

As well as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, Lord Cameron will also have meetings on other global issues including climate change and preventing the spread of disease.

The Foreign Secretary will also meet Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates during his two-day visit.

“The world has changed significantly since I first entered government, and we live in very unstable, uncertain and dangerous times,” former prime minister Lord Cameron said.

“The global impact of conflicts, diseases and climate change is sadly growing. But as the challenges increase, so too must our efforts.

“In my discussion with foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba, I will make clear the UK will continue to be a steadfast supporter of Ukraine, so it not only wins the war, but emerges from it as a strong, sovereign, and free country.

“Ukraine is standing up for the rules that keep us all safe. This is why the UK has provided almost £12 billion in support to Ukraine.

“We will stand with them for as long as it takes to achieve victory.”
