"Long-term planning" - Britain increases its defense spending to 3% by 2034.

In order to expand its military capabilities, Britain intends to increase defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product by 2034, in a move aimed at strengthening a key pillar for a full decade of continuous increases in the defense budget.

Simultaneously, Britain has decided to conduct a comprehensive strategic review by the government to assess the roles of the British armed forces, their capabilities, and the reforms needed to enhance their efficiency in facing evolving challenges. British Defense Minister John Healey stated that this step "gives us the ability to plan long-term and effectively respond to increasing pressures in an international environment that is becoming more complex and dangerous."


Healey added that "there is no doubt that the United Kingdom will achieve this goal," emphasizing that the new direction aims to enhance the country's defense readiness and address emerging global challenges.
