Boris Johnson says the UK will start donating coronavirus vaccines to poorer countries in the next few weeks.
More than 100m surplus doses will be delivered in the next year, he announced ahead of the G7 summit.
US President Joe Biden has promised half a billion doses of Pfizer vaccines to 92 low and middle-income countries and the African Union.
The first 5m doses from the UK will be given by the end of September, with another 25m by the end of the year.
The group of leaders of wealthy nations is expected to collectively agree to provide a billion doses of coronavirus vaccines in a collective effort to end the pandemic.
The leaders of Canada, Japan, France, Germany and Italy as well as the US and the UK, are also setting out a plan to expand vaccine manufacturing to help hit that goal.
Speaking in Cornwall, Mr Biden said: "The United States is providing these half billion doses with no strings attached. No strings attached.
“Our vaccine donations don’t include pressure for favours, or potential concessions. We’re doing this to save lives.”
