When the United Kingdom (UK) releases the highly anticipated integrated review of its foreign, defence, security and development policy in March, it will mark the first formal iteration of the UK’s Indo-Pacific strategy. This brief explores the dynamics that are driving the UK’s tilt to the Indo-Pacific. It identifies three key drivers that are prompting the shift: a reappraisal of China, the economic fallout of Brexit, and the UK’s close ties with the US. It explores the emerging trends in this churn across security, trade, development, and diplomatic domains and highlights the opportunities they afford the India-UK relationship.
Ongoing FCO and DFID procurement
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) unites development and diplomacy in a single department that brings together the UK’s international effort.
The FCDO is currently aligning commercial processes and procedures following the merger of the Department for International Development (DFID) and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). This page will be updated as changes are made.
Existing contracts and agreements
For now, all existing contracts made under UK law with DFID or FCO remain valid. There is no need to novate or amend those contracts and the contractual terms remain unaltered. Similarly, existing grant funding agreements remain valid and will continue without amendment. If there is an agreement under foreign law which may require revision, we will deal with this on a case-by-case basis following local (foreign) law.
