This question was answered on 14th June 2023
The Integrated Review Refresh 2023 recognises the UK will continue to put particular emphasis on developing high-end defence-industrial partnerships, both to strengthen the UK's own future procurement options and those of regional allies in the Indo-Pacific. This can be seen in AUKUS and through the Global Combat Air Programme, through which the UK, Japan and Italy are working together to design a next-generation combat aircraft.
