Will build an economy that maximises Brexit opportunities: New UK PM Rishi Sunak vows to fix Truss' 'mistakes'
New Delhi: In his first public address as the prime minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak vowed to fix the country’s financial state and to build “an economy that makes the most of the Brexit opportunities.”
Standing outside 10 Downing Street in London, after being appointed premier by King Charles III, Sunak spoke of his predecessor Liz Truss’s “noble” aims but said some “mistakes” had been made.
“Right now our country is facing a profound economic crisis, the aftermath of Covid still lingers, Putin’s war in Ukraine has destabilised energy markets and supply chains the world over,” he said.
He said however he wanted to “pay tribute” to Truss whose tenure as leader lasted just seven weeks.
I will unite our country, not with words, but with action.
I will work day in and day out to deliver for you.
