UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is the government department responsible for managing the UK’s international relations. It handles diplomacy, promotes the country’s interests abroad, supports British citizens overseas, and manages aid programs to help developing countries. The FCDO works to strengthen alliances, address global issues like security and climate change, and contribute to international stability and development. It combines the functions of former foreign affairs, Commonwealth relations, and aid agencies into a single department to ensure cohesive and effective foreign policy and international support.
