Global Britain and the G7

This is a crucial year for British foreign policy. The government has recently published its plans for ‘Global Britain’ in the Integrated Review for Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy. The UK holds the G7 presidency and, in June, the prime minister will host the leaders of the other G7 countries for a summit in Cornwall.   The government has promised that the UK’s departure from the EU will allow Global Britain to flourish. But what does the integrated review mean for the UK’s place in the world? What can the UK achieve during its G7 presidency? How should the prime minister approach the G7 summit?   The Institute for Government was delighted to bring together the following panel to discuss these issues: Chernor Bah, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Purposeful Elizabeth Dibble, Chief Operating Officer at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Sir David Lidington, Chair of the Royal United Services Institute and former Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister of State for Europe The event was chaired by Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government #IfGG7 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
