Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) will meet his new British counterpart David Cameron in London on Monday. The focus of the meeting was the situation in the Middle East and Russia’s war of aggression once morest Ukraine, as well as bilateral issues. The former conservative Prime Minister Cameron surprisingly returned to the forefront of British politics just a few days ago.
As part of Schallenberg’s visit, a “Joint Vision Agreement” will also be signed, which will, among other things, provide for increased exchange of information, close coordination of foreign policy priorities and cooperation in the multilateral area, according to the Vienna Foreign Ministry. This would raise relations with the United Kingdom to the level of a strategic partnership.
Cameron was British Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016. He resigned following the Brexit referendum he called for, in which he campaigned for his country to remain in the European Union. The current British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak unexpectedly brought the 57-year-old, who is considered to be part of the moderate wing of the Conservative Party, into his government as Foreign Minister on November 13th as part of a cabinet reshuffle.
Cameron’s first foreign trip as foreign minister was to Kiev last Thursday, where he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
