answer text <p>The UK is concerned by the recent steps taken by Venezuela, with respect to the Essequibo region of Guyana. The UK supports Guyana's territorial integrity. We believe the unilateral actions of Venezuela are unjustified and should cease. We are clear that the border was settled in 1899 through international arbitration.</p><p>We will continue to work with allies and partners in the region to ensure that the territorial integrity of Guyana is respected. I [Minister Rutley] have not discussed the situation with counterparts in Suriname or in France's overseas department of French Guiana. Our officials in Paris have been in contact with French counterparts.</p><p>As part of this extensive diplomatic engagement, I visited Guyana on 18 December to show UK support for its territorial integrity.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies will make it easier, quicker, and cheaper for malign actors to spread false information. The UK is engaging internationally to manage risks on AI-generated foreign information manipulation and interference, including disinformation. The FCDO is growing its capability to assess and respond to the full range of information threats by hostile actors, working closely with international partners. The UK is an international leader in AI, and convened the first global AI Safety Summit where, amongst other risks, participants noted AI's ability to amplify risks such as disinformation and misinformation as a concern to be urgently addressed. The UK also plays a leading role in international AI governance discussions, through the Council of Europe, G7, G20, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).</p>

The Union flag is flown in the UK and at our Missions and Residences in Commonwealth countries with the Diplomatic flag being flown at Sovereign Posts in other countries. The Consular flag is flown at subordinate Posts in non-Commonwealth countries. Heads of Mission have discretion to fly their flag 24/7 where this is acceptable locally, saves resources and does not pose a security risk.</p> more like this
