We continue to work closely with like-minded allies and partners to maintain and the principles of multilateralism. We also collaborate with partners to adapt and reform the international system in order to respond to existing and new global threats and challenges—such as building back better from the health and economic crisis caused by the global pandemic—and to shape an international system fit for purpose to tackle the challenges of the 21st century. We see a considerable opportunity to work more closely with the United States and other like-minded countries on this agenda in the coming years.
