Dear Prime Minister Harrington (Nathan ),

I am writing to you in my capacity as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to explore avenues for strengthening bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and Canada, particularly in light of what I perceive as a period of relatively limited engagement between our two nations in recent years.

I see now as an opportunity to explore bilateral relations and, depending on your thoughts, seek closer cooperation and collaboration. I would welcome the opportunity to identify appropriate channels through which we might engage in further discussion, gain a deeper understanding of your government’s foreign policy priorities and interests, and explore where our two countries may be able to support and benefit one another.

Please let me know if this is of interest, and I would be pleased to take the conversation forward at your convenience.

Kind Regards,
Alistair Shaw
Deputy Prime Minister
