Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans he has to discuss security cooperation with international counterparts on foreign interference and state-sponsored disinformation threats from Russia.

We are stepping up work with our allies to counter information threats to our national security and that of our partners. This includes security cooperation with our traditional partners in the Euro-Atlantic region and with new partners globally. Most recently, the Government signed a bilateral Defence and Security Treaty with Poland, including a commitment to joint action to disrupt and respond to Russian FIMI and broader hybrid threats. This follows new agreements with partners including France, Germany, and the EU to share best practice, drive collective responses to information operations, and agree areas for future collaboration. We are keen to continue international collaboration efforts to support our collective understanding of the problem and strengthen our ability to tackle Russia's disruptive activity.
