Revitalising UK-Latin America Engagement post-Brexit

The latest British Foreign Policy Group report, “Revitalising UK-Latin America Engagement post-Brexit”, provides an extensive analysis of the UK’s foreign policy towards Latin America since 2010. In 2010, the UK announced a shift towards greater engagement with the region, called the Canning Agenda.
