Fco

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) represents the UK government's diplomatic service, succeeding the former Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in September 2020. This reorganization aimed to enhance the UK's international engagement by merging the FCO with the Department for International Development. The FCDO's primary mission is to provide essential services such as foreign travel advice, consular assistance for citizens abroad, and legislation related to official documents.

The FCDO plays a critical role in safeguarding British interests globally, offering a range of support services that include assistance for travelers, partnerships with foreign governments, and guidance on living and working overseas. Furthermore, it engages in promoting international development and fostering diplomatic relations. As the central authority for the UK’s foreign policy, the FCDO is dedicated to creating a safer and more prosperous world, ensuring that Britons abroad have access to vital information and support whenever needed.
