British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has invited Australia to the G7 Summit in 2021 alongside South Korea and India.

The invitation represents his commitment to step up the United Kingdom’s engagement in the Indo-Pacific after Brexit and growing Chinese nationalism.

Britain’s relationship with China has deteriorated in recent months due to national security laws Beijing imposed on Hong Kong and the UK’s decision to ban Huawei technologies.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it was good for like-minded democracies to gather considering the way out of the global recession - caused by the coronavirus pandemic - was through models established in liberal, market-based democracies.
