The Government has outlined its plan to protect businesses from global threats while making the UK the most connected nation in the world.
Launching the UK’s Trade Strategy, Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said, “The UK is an open trading nation but we must reconcile this with a new geopolitical reality and work in our own national interest. Our Trade Strategy will sharpen our trade defence so we can ensure British businesses are protected from harm, while also relentlessly pursuing every opportunity to sell to more markets under better terms than before.”
The Strategy plans to secure investment opportunities for businesses and deliver ‘quicker, more practical’ deals with other markets to enable effective importing and exporting of goods and services. Among the key pillars of the Strategy is the plan to build on existing clean energy and green sector agreements with partners including Norway, Japan, and South Korea.
