"On 25 April 2016, the world had no clue about Papadopoulos, about Trump and Russia, or about the man quickly identified as the “London professor” – a 57-year-old Maltese academic, Joseph Mifsud. Reached by journalists, Mifsud confirmed that the US indictment refers to him but denied any knowledge of its claims about links to the Kremlin, or of knowing about “dirt on Hillary” in “thousands of emails”. But what the document does not spell out – and what the Observer has learned – is that both Mifsud and Papadopoulos also had links into the heart of the British government.
We publish evidence today of several confirmed meetings between Mifsud and Alok Sharma, the MP for Reading West and a Foreign Office minister until June this year. It was this relationship between Mifsud and Sharma that put the “London professor” directly into the orbit of the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, two weeks ago – at a fundraising dinner attended by both Johnson and Mifsud, with Mifsud telling a colleague he was returning to London from Rome to “have dinner with Boris Johnson … re Brexit”."

The Guardian reports on 2 March 2020 that Alok Sharma was appointed COP26 President two weeks prior, following the very public sacking of Claire O'Neill. A better reference should be found and this information added. RobbieIanMorrison ( talk) 08:55, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Ebonelm, I understand your point that Sharma's role has existed in some form since February 2020, but I think 'President for COP26' should only be in the infobox from when it became a ministerial position on 8 January 2021. 'Presidencies' of one-off summits like this is are not usually given infobox offices, and it is only by virtue of the position being elevated to its current cabinet-attending status that it entered the infobox.
