International Trade and Investment APPG

First Registered: 15/02/2017 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG will strengthen Parliament’s ability to address global trade complexities, foster cross-party collaboration, engage industry stakeholders, and promote strategic investment opportunities. This essential forum aims to shape and enhance the UK’s trade and investment landscape, driving economic growth and ensuring long-term global competitiveness.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
