Rt Hon Alistair Burt joins the Coalition for Global Prosperity's Board

The Coalition for Global Prosperity is delighted to announce that Rt Hon Alistair Burt will be joining our Board. Alistair joins the Coalition following a distinguished 32-year career in Parliament during which he served as a Minister at both the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development.

Simon Bishop, Chair of The Coalition for Global Prosperity said:

“We’re delighted that Alistair will be joining our Board at the Coalition for Global Prosperity. 

Throughout his time in parliament, Alistair was always an active champion for Britain being a force for good in the world and shares our firm belief that Britain is at it's best when we champion our values both at home and abroad. 

With the spread of Coronavirus, now more than ever we need a Global Britain that acts as a leader in development, alongside defence and diplomacy to create a safer, healthier and more prosperous world for us all.”

Alistair Burt said:

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Board at the Coalition for Global Prosperity. At a time of crisis when our country faces global threats, the UK should be proud to act as a global leader in development.

I look forward to joining the Coalition’s work making the case for smart and effective British aid that protects us from global pandemics, builds prosperity both at home and overseas, and strengthens individual freedoms around the world.”
