D.C. Welcomes Cameron: UK’s Foreign Secretary Makes Waves

• UK’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron to visit Washington this Wednesday.
• Trip aims to strengthen UK-US relationship, says foreign office.
• Cameron, former PM, appointed top diplomat on Nov 13.

The United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, who returned to government last month after serving as a prime minister, is set to visit Washington starting Wednesday, according to an announcement from his office.

The trip will be a chance to “reaffirm the strength of the UK’s relationship with its closest strategic ally,” the foreign office said in a statement on Sunday.

Having previously held the position of Conservative prime minister from 2010 to 2016, Cameron was appointed as Britain’s top diplomat on November 13, following a ministerial team reshuffle by the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

He is due in the US capital on Wednesday where he will meet with “key members of the Biden Administration, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as well as meeting Republican and Democratic Congressional figures,” the foreign office said.

At the center of Cameron’s discussion will be “support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and work to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East,” it added.

Shortly after his appointment, Cameron embarked on his inaugural foreign visit in his new role, heading to Ukraine.

While in Kyiv, he promised that London would “continue to give you the moral support, diplomatic support, the economic support, but above all, the military support, that you need… for however long it takes.”
