The department said Blinken will visit London starting on Monday for a meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of 7 industrialized democracies and will then travel on to Kyiv amid a burst of concern over U.S. relations with Ukraine, including an FBI raid on former President Donald Trump s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and new questions about Russia s intentions there.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab will discuss access to vaccines and global security as he hosts face-to-face talks with foreign counterparts during coronavirus restrictions.
In the first G7 foreign ministers meeting in more than two years, three days of talks will begin in a Covid-secure venue in London on Monday.
The Foreign Office said Mr Raab will seek to establish “ambitious” targets on climate finance, girls’ education and global health as he comes under sustained criticism for cutting foreign aid.
Despite his stated aims, the Government’s cuts to overseas aid spending have been described as “devastating” for women and girls around the world.
