Foreign Secretary's 2017 Easter message
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson sends his warm wishes to all celebrating Easter.
The Foreign Secretary said:
Easter is a time of hope and new life for all Christians. This year my thoughts are with all those facing persecution and denied the right to worship freely, particularly Christians in the Middle East – and especially those who suffered in the terrible attacks on Palm Sunday in Egypt.
The UK will continue to stand with our international friends and partners as strong advocates for freedom of religion or belief for all. We must work to spread the mutual respect, tolerance and understanding of different faiths which bind us together as a global community and build a better, more peaceful world.
I send all Christians my warm wishes for a happy and peaceful holiday.
