The case for international development goes beyond morality; it is a strategic pillar of the UK’s foreign policy and national security. British leadership has been crucial in stabilising regions, preventing conflicts, and offering resolutions to global health crises. This panel will explore how Conservatives can rethink international development and align foreign policy priorities with the UK’s national security objectives.
