<p>The UK currently remains a full and active member state of the European Union,
with the rights and commitments this entails. Once the UK departs the EU, we will
take forward an independent foreign policy. But working with the EU on foreign policy
will remain important. The UK therefore is seeking a strategic partnership with the
EU which facilitates close cooperation in foreign policy, defence and development.
This will enable us to continue to work closely with European allies to tackle the
common threats we face and to promote the values and interests that we share. This
does currently, and could include cooperation in third countries.</p>
