British Prime Minister David Cameron announced Monday that it would be up to the country's next prime minister to negotiate Britain's post-Brexit relationship with the European Union. In the first meeting of Parliament since Britain voted Thursday to exit the EU and Cameron announced his resignation, Cameron said the British government would first assess plans for its future relationship with the EU before beginning the exit process.
He advised that Britain "not turn our back on Europe or the rest of the world," and that the country "hold fast to a vision that wants to be respected abroad, tolerant at home, engaged in the world, and working with our international partners to advance security and prosperity of the nation for generations to come."
