The new Foreign Secretary is visiting Germany, Poland and Sweden on his first overseas trip in the role.
Britain must be a “good neighbour” to the European Union as it targets a “closer partnership” with the bloc, according to the new Foreign Secretary.
Elsewhere, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the return of freedom of movement with the EU was not on the table as part of efforts to improve post-Brexit trade. Mr Lammy said the Labour Government’s commitment to Nato is “unshakeable” and one of the areas discussed with his counterparts included providing Ukraine with its “own clear path” to joining the alliance.
Mr Lammy went on: “But if we are to fulfil our ambitions for a reset, we must also improve Britain’s relationship with the European Union.” Appearing on the Sunday morning broadcast round, Business Secretary Mr Reynolds said “removing some of those barriers to trade makes sense” when discussing future working with the EU.
