Active Diplomacy for a Changing World: The UK's International Priorities

We have identified the following nine strategic international priorities for the UK over the next five to ten years. They underline how closely domestic and international policies are now linked:
  • Making the world safer from global terrorism and weapons of mass destruction
  • Reducing the harm to the UK from international crime, including drug trafficking, people smuggling and money laundering
  • Preventing and resolving conflict through a strong international system
  • Building an effective and globally competitive EU in a secure neighbourhood
  • Supporting the UK economy and business through an open and expanding global economy, science and innovation and secure energy supplies
  • Promoting sustainable development and poverty reduction underpinned by human rights, democracy, good governance and protection of the environment
  • Managing migration and combating illegal immigration
  • Delivering high-quality support for British nationals abroad, in normal times and in crises
  • Ensuring the security and good governance of the UK's Overseas Territories
