'Comfort blanket' allies are not enough, says Foreign Secretary James Cleverly
"In the coming decades, an ever greater share of the world economy - and therefore the world's power - will be in the hands of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
He said the UK needed to work and sell the benefits of "subscription to international law, about using peaceful mechanisms for dispute resolution, about moving in a direction which embraces human rights and diversity and those things which are the foundation stones of our political philosophy." "In all these fields and many others, our opportunity is to show that the UK can be and will be a reliable, trustworthy and long-term partner and I am determined that we'll make investments of faith in the countries that will shape the world's future."He's saying Britain should engage more closely with non-traditional allies in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These countries are future powers. They and the UK should have more mutually beneficial partnerships.
But on another level, Mr Cleverly is also making a more subtle defence of the international order that is being threatened by Russia and other autocratic countries.
