PM May - British people want decisions about their lives to lie closer to home
Prime Minister Theresa May addressed the Nordic Council in Norway saying that "in our referendum, the British people made it clear that they wanted decisions about their lives to lie closer to home. So we will deliver the greater accountability they demanded".
She added: "We will also remain active members of the UN. Of NATO. Of the Northern Future Forum, the Nordic Plus group of development ministers and the Northern Group of defence ministers.
We will continue to act as observers on the Arctic Council, further strengthen our relations with the Nordic Council, and embrace the possibilities of closer bilateral engagement.
And, of course, we will build a new partnership with the EU and with the EEA and EFTA countries.
One that will deliver on the democratic wishes of the British people while maintaining our commitment to international co-operation in pursuit of our shared values.
I would ask all of you here today to work with us to build that partnership – just as we have worked together for many years to build the partnership the UK and Nordic nations now enjoy".
