MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service, UK)

MI6, or the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), is the United Kingdom’s foreign intelligence agency. Its main role is to gather secret information from outside the UK to protect national security, support government decisions, and counter international threats like terrorism and espionage. It operates covertly, employing spies and advanced technology to collect intelligence from other countries. MI6 works closely with other security agencies, such as MI5 and GCHQ, to ensure the UK’s safety and interests abroad. Its activities are largely classified, but it plays a crucial role in national defense and diplomatic security.
