<p>As we create the new Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the government
is clear that the UK will remain a champion of the international system. COVID-19
has demonstrated that a strong, well-functioning multilateral system is in the UK’s
interests, and this merger will bring together our overseas efforts on aid and diplomacy
so we can maximise our influence across the world.</p><p>There are no current plans

relationships and priorities will be considered as part of the Integrated Review,
which will set an ambitious vision for the future of the UK as an active, internationalist,
problem-solving and burden-sharing nation.</p>
