>President Volodymyr Zelensky has become the first foreign leader to meet Britain’s new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, with the pair holding talks aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth in Portsmouth Naval Base. The choice of venue for Burnham’s first bilateral meeting since taking office underlines the continued importance the UK places on support for Ukraine.
Even alongside, HMS Queen Elizabeth demonstrating the utility of aircraft carriers doesn’t just lie in the hard power they provide. Already HMS Queen Elizabeth (and HMS Prince of Wales) have shown soft power in action, through hosting meetings like this, conferences and receptions both in the UK and abroad.
Smart move hosting it on a carrier, shows off British hardware while doing the diplomatic bit. Two birds, one stone.
