<p>In a sign of our deep and long-term relationship with the continent, we are increasing
the British diplomatic presence in sub-Saharan Africa so we can develop more effective
partnerships and achieve our mutual goals. During her recent visit to Africa the Prime
Minister announced that the UK would open new sovereign missions in Niger and Chad
as a demonstration of our commitment to the Sahel region. This is in addition to the
announcement made by the former Foreign Secretary in the margins of the Commonwealth
Heads of Government Meeting in April that we would be opening two new High Commissions
in Lesotho and Eswatini. In May this year we also upgraded UK presence in Mauritania
to an Embassy.</p>
