Britain wants to expand its relations with emerging countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The country no longer wants to rely solely on “traditional allies”, but wants to build partnerships with states that are increasingly gaining influence in these three regions of the world – including those that are not Britain’s “traditional partners”, it said. in an AM statement released Saturday evening by the British Foreign Office.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is expected to make the announcement in a speech on Monday, two weeks after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the “golden age” between Britain and China was over and relations with Beijing required “pragmatism” .
Britain, still seeking its role in the post-Brexit world, needs to expand its ties with countries that are “shaping the future of the world” in many areas, Cleverly will announce, according to the statement. “In the decades to come, an even larger share of the world’s economy – and therefore of world power – will be in the hands of nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America.” British foreign policy must look 10, 15 and 20 years ahead.
