- Here in Tokyo to bang the drum for London 🇯🇵🤝🇬🇧
00:00 - Securing more than 4,000 new jobs for London. In Tokyo, I met with Mitsubishi Estate to discuss their major new development on London's South Bank - a massive boost for our world-leading creative and economic sectors.
- Mitsui Fudosan’s £1.1bn investment at the British Library site is a massive vote of confidence in our capital. In Tokyo, we discussed their transformative plans, delivering expanded galleries and vital new public space for Londoners.
- Today I addressed the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan. Our cities’ economic ties are undeniable. Bringing together UK and Japanese business leaders will help to unlock the investment and jobs that will shape our future.
- I’m in Tokyo to strengthen the vital economic ties between our two world-leading cities. Thank you to @londonpartners and the @BCCJapan for hosting our delegation of leading London scale-ups as they showcase the absolute best of our tech and creative industries.
- Global investment doesn’t just land in London by accident. You have to go and get it. I’m in Tokyo to secure the innovation, funding, and long-term opportunities our city needs.
00:00 - From sumo to sushi, matcha to mochi - Japanese culture is having a massive moment in London. I’m in Tokyo to forge new partnerships which will deliver innovation, jobs and growth for our two capitals for generations to come.
- Accepting the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2026 on behalf of London was a huge honour. My time in Singapore was about how global cities can work together to tackle shared challenges and build a better future for everyone. Thank you, Singapore 🇸🇬
00:00 - 3,000 zero-emission buses are now running on London’s streets. That’s the largest green bus fleet in Western Europe, growing 100-fold in under ten years. We’re on course for two thirds of the fleet to be zero-emission in under five years - we’ll keep going until the whole fleet
- Fleeing your home country, and everything you know, because of war, violence or persecution takes incredible courage. To everyone who has recently arrived in London seeking safety: you are welcome here.
00:00 - Honoured to attend the King’s birthday reception hosted by the British High Commission in Singapore. It was a true pleasure to join our Singaporean friends in marking this occasion and strengthening the vital partnership between our two nations.
