Background

The ILP was established in March 2013 by former Foreign Secretary William Hague.[3] It identifies potential global leaders of the future and brings them to the United Kingdom for high-level meetings, briefings, and diplomatic visits.[4] The goal of the programme is to promote lasting global partnerships with emerging leaders and future decision-makers.[5]

ILP participants have represented 100 countries, and the alumni has over 350 members to date.
