The partnership between the two countries is “a model of diplomacy”, said Lammy. As in the 1920s, when the Locarno Peace Conference took place, this time is also characterised by a “search for clarity, strength and conviction”.
We are in a “post-human” era and society is being recreated, said the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom in Locarno. “If we act together, we can change the times,” he said with conviction.
