MI6 will "be more open" according to the organisation's new leader, Blaise Metreweli. The new Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service says "transparency does not mean revealing what must remain secret", but instead "showing the British people who we are, what we stand for and why our work matters".

00:00Recently, I had the privilege of meeting and thanking a foreign agent who has worked with us for decades,
00:07taking extraordinary risks to help keep the UK safe.
00:11I asked why, and they said simply,
00:15your values, your integrity and respect, none of us have a future without them.
00:23This moment reinforced to me that we must remain a very human agency.
00:27And so to sustain that trust, MI6 will continue to be more open, not for the sake of visibility, but because it matters.
00:36And as my MI5 counterpart, Sir Ken McCallum, said recently, because it is a strength.
00:42We will continue the practice of speaking publicly, broaden our channels of engagement and sustain our focus on attracting the most diverse talent to join our service.
00:52Transparency does not mean revealing what must remain secret.
00:59It means showing the British people who we are, what we stand for and why our work matters.
