We will continue to build on our work so far in demonstrating the UK’s leadership on the international stage during the COVID-19 response. We are committed to working closely with partner countries and international bodies including the WHO, the World Trade Organisation and the G20 to promote a rules-based international system that is inclusive of developing countries, and to strengthen global security and the rule of law. We will also continue our long-standing commitment to promoting free, open societies and upholding universal human rights. The UK’s G7 Presidency, particularly our Foreign and Development Track, provides a rich opportunity to reaffirm the relevance and power of multilateralism and show how open societies are best placed to deliver domestically and tackle global challenges, while further reinforcing the UK’s role as a global Force for Good. 6 Fifth Special Report of Session 2019–21 The UK Response
