Global Britain: UK Foreign Policy in the Era of Brexit

A lecture given by Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs at Chatham house on the 2 December 2016. He argued that after the vote to leave the EU in June 2016, Britain has the chance to define and establish a new forward-looking approach to its foreign policy. He will set out a vision of Britain’s role in the world, the challenges policy-makers face and the contribution the UK can now make to global security and prosperity.
