Explained in plain English

What are other countries doing?

Many countries are strengthening their defences against foreign interference, often by updating laws and improving intelligence sharing. For example, some nations have introduced new legislation to make it illegal for foreign governments to fund political campaigns or influence elections covertly. This reflects a growing global awareness, as highlighted by Prime Minister Burnham, that such actions disrupt democratic processes.
