If we go along with the references on the wikia (there isn't much brought up in the Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero), then the UK's ties were largely financial in nature.
Though not explicitly a Pacific-adjacent nation, the UK was involved with the Defense Corps by virtue of commonwealth ties with Australia and Canada. They operated a critical oceanic monitoring hub and extensive K-Science research facility on British-controlled Pitcairn Islands.
At the same time they were assisting in the monitoring and research in the Pitcairn Islands. While they may not be in the Pacific, they had interests there beyond the ties the United Nations was asking countries to act together cohesively to support.
