answer text <p>​As a Government we have regular engagement with both our partners in France and New Zealand on how we tackle terrorist content online. The Prime Minister attended the Christchurch Call summit in Paris on online harms on 15 May. She had discussions with both Prime Minister Ardern and President Macron in the sidelines. During the summit she showcased the Government's leadership on making a safer internet for all our citizens. The UK will be the first country to establish a regulatory framework that tackles a range of online harms. We will lead international efforts by setting a coherent, proportionate and effective approach that reflects our commitment to a free, open and secure internet. This is why, together with our partners from France and New Zealand, we have signed up to a joint pledge, called the &quot;Christchurch Call To Action&quot;, to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. This is the latest example of UK leadership on this issue.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​The objectives of the Government's diplomatic and political policy on Poland are to strengthen our close, long-standing and vibrant relationship and take it from 'good' to 'great', as the Prime Minister challenged us to do at the Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC) in December 2016. Our two countries enjoy frequent ministerial contact, a thriving civil society forum and strong people-to-people links thanks, in part, to the contribution of the Polish diaspora in the UK. All of this supports our efforts to work even more closely with Poland and to deliver the Government's objectives on the key issues that connect us: defence and security; foreign policy; the economy and business; and science and innovation.</p> more like this

Our delivery will focus on key areas of common interest including: trade and investment; defence, security and foreign policy; cultural engagement, and preparing for the UK-Italy 2020 Year of Culture; tackling transnational crime and terrorism; science and innovation; and education.
