Since the Soft Power Council was established in January 2025, it has met four times. Information about the Soft Power Council and its meetings is available on GOV.UK, including meeting dates, terms of reference, and abridged minutes of discussions.

The Scotland Office meets regularly with the FCDO to discuss how to harness Scotland’s immense soft power potential to boost exports and attract inward investment.
