From:
Excellencies, colleagues, friends.
Good afternoon, I am delighted that so many of you are with us for this event on the Risk-Informed Early Action Partnership.
Just after I became UK Secretary of State for International Development in 2019, Hurricane Dorian struck.
And the reports that came back were terrible to hear.
It goes without saying that if we can minimise such suffering and devastation, then we must.
