After meeting Australian counterparts in the morning, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss delivered an address to the Lowy Institute on Friday which outlined how the United Kingdom will work with partners to build a global “Network of Liberty” to stand up for freedom and push back against increasing threats to international security.
Truss first outlined the Network of Liberty concept in a major foreign policy speech to Chatham House back in December. Coming off the back of the UK’s Integrated Review in 2021 and Truss assuming the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development portfolio in September, the Network of Liberty outlined a new agenda and vision for UK foreign policy – one focussed on commercial opportunity and creating economic, trade and security relationships in the pursuit of freedom and liberty.
