The speech is widely covered by media today, including in The Telegraph, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Times, The Sun, The Herald and The Scotsman.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said:
The UK is a global power with truly global interests. A nation with the fifth biggest economy on the planet. A nation with the world’s fifth biggest Defence budget and the second largest Defence exporter. And since the new Global Great Game will be played on a global playing field, we must be prepared to compete for our interests and our values far, far from home.
