Armed Forces Week 2026
On Armed Forces Day, the Coalition for Global Prosperity joins the nation in paying tribute to the servicemen and women of the United Kingdom whose dedication and sacrifice underpin this country's role in the world. We recognise not only their commitment, but the breadth of what they represent: Britain's capacity to act as a force for good in the world.
It is a capacity the Coalition for Global Prosperity seeks to sustain, rooted in the understanding that defence, development, and diplomacy are most effective when they work together. Britain's influence abroad and its ability to promote stability rests on the integration of these pillars. Our armed forces are central to that effort, operating not in isolation but as part of a broader national commitment to global engagement.
Below, we share reflections from across our network to remind us of what that commitment looks like in practice, and why it endures.
