“My Ministers will implement the Integrated Review of
Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.”
-
● The Integrated Review sets out the
Government’s vision of the UK’s role in the world
through to 2030 and the action we will take at home and
with other countries to ensure that we are stronger,
safer and more prosperous in a more competitive
age.
-
● We will not be able to achieve the
objectives set out in the Integrated Review by working
alone: collective action with our allies and partners
will be vitally important. We will lead by example
where we have unique or significant strengths and
identify where we are better placed to support others
in achieving our shared goals.
-
● We will play a more active part in
international institutions including the United
Nations, World Trade Organisation, World Health
Organisation and the international financial
institutions. We will seek to shape the international
order of the future, extending it in areas such as
cyberspace and space, and protecting democratic
values.
-
● We will build stronger alliances
and wider partnerships:
o Recognising no relationship is more
valuable than our one with the United
States.
o Increasing our engagement in the
Indo-Pacific, including through becoming a Dialogue Partner
to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
members.
o Pursuing constructive and productive
relationships with our friends and neighbours in Europe
based on mutual respect for sovereignty.
o Being a partner of choice in Africa,
with a focus on East Africa. o
Fostering thriving relationships in the Middle East
based on trade, green
innovation and science and trade.
-
● We will do more to integrate our
approach across diplomacy, development, and defence and
we will return to spending 0.7 per cent of Gross
National Income on international development when the
fiscal situation allows.
-
● We are realistic about the
challenges we face, but optimistic about our future as
an active European country with a global perspective,
which brings countries
together to solve the issues that matter most to our
citizens and to improve their lives.
Key facts
● As the Integrated Review sets out, we
will focus on five key areas:
o Solving global challenges.
o Investing in science and technology
and acting as a responsible cyber power.
o Acting as a force for good in the
world, defending democracy and human rights.
o Championing the free flow of trade,
capital and knowledge as the best way to drive economic
growth.
o Taking a more robust approach to
security and deterrence.
