<p>As set out in the 2023 CONTEST refresh, the Government is focusing on the nexus
between terrorism and state threats, utilising our counter-terrorism powers, capabilities
and expertise, to protect the UK. Alongside our counter-terrorism toolkit, the powers
in the National Security Act 2023 will help to keep the UK safe by making it harder
for those states who seek to conduct hostile acts against us.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In
addition, the UK’s approach to state threats has been set out in the Integrated Review
Refresh, which recognises that state threats are increasing and diversifying. It lays
out the overarching objectives of our response; to protect the UK and its interests
abroad; build consensus internationally and domestically; compete to disrupt and deter
threat activity; and understand the evolving threat.</p><p> </p>
