The partnership between the two countries is \u201ca model of diplomacy\u201d, said Lammy. As in the 1920s, when the Locarno Peace Conference<\/a> took place, this time is also characterised by a \u201csearch for clarity, strength and conviction\u201d.<\/p>\n

We are in a \u201cpost-human\u201d era and society is being recreated, said the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom in Locarno. \u201cIf we act together, we can change the times,\u201d he said with conviction.<\/p>\n
