London intends to create long-term strategies for the development of relations with the countries of Asia, Latin America and Africa. One of the goals is to weaken or prevent Russia’s influence on these countries. British Foreign Minister James Cleverley wrote about this in his address.
According to his forecasts, in the coming decades, the share of African, Asian and Latin American countries will account for an even larger share of the world economy. Cleverley suggested basing the development of relations on the interests of these states and strong British qualities in the fields of defense, technology, investment and trade. At the same time, the Foreign Minister noted the importance of British foreign policy being constantly focused on tomorrow, looking decades ahead.
On December 12, Cleverley will present his first keynote speech as Foreign Minister in London. The Foreign Office stressed that Cleverley will also touch on the need to create an alternative to “countries like Russia.” In addition, the Foreign Minister will remind that the UK is happy to develop relations with states that share a return to territorial integrity and sovereignty.
