This government believes AI Sovereignty is not about isolationism or attempting to pull up the drawbridge and go it alone. We will continue to use the best technology and welcome inward investment because that’s what our public services and economy demand. [...] And if you want leverage for your country, you need to be a keystone in the global tech architecture – an indispensable partner. [...] And second, by working more closely with our international partners, particularly other so-called middle power nations, including on setting the standards for how AI is deployed.

AI Verified The supplied GOV.UK news page contains the passage verbatim as a direct block quote, introduced as a statement by the Technology Secretary, and it is published on 28 April 2026. A separate GOV.UK speech transcript for the same RUSI speech on 28 April 2026 is also attributed to Liz Kendall. The stored author, date, source URL, and quoted wording (with [...] only omitting intervening text) are consistent with the official sources.
