Foreign Secretary statement: OECD appoints Mathias Cormann as next Secretary General

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

My congratulations to Mathias Cormann on his selection as the next OECD Secretary General. As the UK holds the Presidency of the G7 and hosts COP26 later this year, our close partnership with the OECD will be vital to building back better from this pandemic.

I look forward to working closely together to support the global economy to recover from COVID, and step up the fight to tackle climate change.
