David Lammy became the first UK foreign secretary to attend the regular meeting of EU foreign ministers after Brexit, according to Best for Britain.
Lammy called his presence “a historic moment that marks our EU reset.”
Tom Brufatto, Best for Britain’s Director of Policy and Research, stated that the meeting contributed to a closer relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union.
The UK attending the EU Foreign Affairs Council is a welcome step towards achieving the broader ambition to forge a closer relationship between the UK and EU. With ongoing Russian aggression on our continent, and the possibility of an isolationist Trump presidency, it has never been more important for the UK to strengthen defence co-operation with our European allies.
