Kyiv • UNN
Britain's new Foreign Secretary David Lammy promises to reconnect the country with the global community by revising climate change policy, strengthening ties with Europe and the global South, and putting the Brexit years behind him.
Britain must re-engage with the international community by making significant changes in its climate change policy, as well as in its relations with Europe and the countries of the global South. This was stated by the new British Foreign Secretary David Lammy in an interview with The Guardian, UNN reports.
The world is a dangerously divided place, and this is a complex geopolitical moment with huge challenges for Britain, but I am thrilled to be part of a project that reconnects Britain with the global community
According to him, for many years, the UK has been involved in an "inward-looking conversation" as the aftermath of the Brexit referendum and years of hard work to implement it have consumed political energy.
Britain must begin to reconnect with the world. Let's put the Brexit years behind us. We are not going to re-join the single market and customs union, but there is much we can do together. I want to be absolutely clear: European countries are our friends
