LONDON (UK) – The world does not halt for domestic reviews of national security and enemies would be unlikely to be stopped by an absence of strategy, said the defence minister on Wednesday.
“In an area of constant competition, a global Britain has no choice but to step up,” said Defence Secretary Ben Wallace at the Atlantic Future Forum.
“The world does not stop for our reviews, our adversaries will not halt (in) the absence of our strategies, and the UK’s defence can never be paused, in the face of financial uncertainty.”
