The new Foreign Secretary spoke to media on arrival at the Foreign Office. He said:
I’m hugely humbled to take on this role at this time and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Obviously we’ve got the challenges of Brexit, that’s something we wanted the country to rise to. Obviously the Foreign Office, the message we send about the opportunities around the world and our confidence in our country, taking those opportunities with enthusiasm, optimism, is something I can’t wait to get involved with.
