Reconnecting Britain for our security and prosperity: Foreign Secretary David Lammy's statement
Speech
David Lammy outlined his priorities following his appointment as Foreign Secretary on 5 July 2024.
Our mission
We develop and maintain relations between the UK and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Our policy is one of critical engagement - making clear the views of the UK and the international community on the DPRK’s nuclear weapons programme and proliferation activities and on its human rights record. We encourage the DPRK to engage with the outside world through credible dialogue.
