Foreign Policy

Post-Brexit UK foreign policy balances the 'special relationship' with the US, Indo-Pacific engagement (AUKUS, CPTPP), European security partnerships, and Commonwealth leadership. Key priorities include Ukraine support, China competition, counterterrorism, and development through the FCDO.

The UK has sought Free Trade Agreements globally, joining the CPTPP and signing deals with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. It remains Europe's largest defense spender and a key NATO contributor.

MUN Delegate Guide

As the UK, project P5 authority and post-Brexit Global Britain ambitions. Coordinate closely with the US on security issues and with European partners on Ukraine and Russia.

Leverage the Commonwealth for coalition-building -- 56 countries across every region. Use your AUKUS and Five Eyes partnerships in Indo-Pacific discussions. Lead on development, humanitarian issues, and climate (COP26 legacy). Your defense capabilities and intelligence assets give you credibility on security issues that few other countries match.
