Britain's new Foreign Secretary and Trade Minister back CX recommendations
/The UK's new Prime Minister is in the process of appointing her first Cabinet. There is already good news for CX and Commonwealth supporters, most notably in the appointments of Boris Johnson and Liam Fox.
Both are friends to Commonwealth Exchange and have written forewords to our reports. Here are key excerpts:
"It seems that almost all parts of the Commonwealth are brimming with a new energy and optimism, at precisely the time that the European Union is struggling. As we reconsider Britain’s place in the world, I want us to reconsider how we engage with Commonwealth peoples...
"...The UK has bonds of history, language, law, family and customs across the world and we would be foolish not to make more of these at this time of profound global economic revival."
- Boris Johnson, Secretary of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in his foreword to our report "How to Solve a Problem like a Visa"
"It may just be that the Commonwealth could be coming of age in the right way at the right time. It is a time to be bold."
- Liam Fox, Secretary of State for International Trade, in his foreword to our report "The Commonwealth's Call to Duty"
Following the UK's vote to leave the EU, it is vital that the Commmonwealth is at the heart of our plans for trade, migration, security, and more. Find our full Brexit plan here.
