cooperation partnership: Speaking to reporters before the party, Johnson tried to "reassure everybody about Brexit". He dismissed comments by French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault that he had "lied a lot" during the Brexit campaign, saying he had received a "charming letter" from his new French counterpart, according to Nine News Australia. Johnson later addressed invited guests at the French ambassador residence where he delivered his first public speech as Foreign Secretary."We will intensify the cooperation and partnership at an inter-governmental level, and forge a new global role," he said. The former London mayor well-known abroad, not least for a colourful use of language regularly directed at foreign leaders, was heckled by officials and guests during celebrations at the French ambassador residence in London. A cacophony of boos overshadowed applause as the newly appointed secretary awkwardly left the podium. May took over Wednesday after David Cameron stepped down as premier in the wake of the June 23 vote, which sent shockwaves around the world and sparked fears of an economic downturn as Britain potentially faces exclusion from its biggest market. Johnson shocked leaders across the world after he was appointed to the top job by newly elected Prime Minister Theresa May.
