Lockwood Smith: former High Commissioner to the UK on the next steps after the UK Election
Published 2 years ago
Description
The UK is undergoing a historic political change - leaving other parts of the world wondering what comes next.
The win for Labour marks the end of the Conservative's 14 years in power.
With this comes new Ministers, such as the Minister for Business and Trade as well as Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.
Former High Commissioner to the UK, Lockwood Smith, says he believes the only policy change that'll come with this will be domestic.
"I don't think we'll see a big shift in the trade policy or their foreign policy - except for, I think, an attempt to warm up the relationship with the EU, which is needed."
