A new government presents an important opportunity for the UK to assess its standing in the international soft power arena and plan strategically to achieve foreign policy aims within an increasingly volatile global context.
The 2023 Integrated Review Refresh set out HMG’s plans to maximise UK soft power assets through working with the British Council and BBC World Service, as well as increasing capability to respond to disinformation.
