The British Council conducted a survey of G20 countries to understand their perceptions of the UK before and after the EU referendum. The survey found that the UK is seen as a leader in education, innovation, and culture, but also as a country with a complex political landscape. The EU referendum has had a significant impact on how the UK is perceived, with some countries expressing concern about the potential consequences of Brexit. The report concludes that the UK needs to continue to focus on building relationships and fostering understanding with other countries in order to maintain its international influence. Recommendations include investing in education and culture, and being transparent about the UK's intentions and plans post-Brexit.
