I am working with my colleagues in the Department for International Trade to identify future trading opportunities, post EU exit.

The UK Government has established working group and high-level dialogues with a range of key trade partners, including the United States, Australia, China, Japan, India, the Gulf Cooperation Council and New Zealand. Our priority is to be in a position to begin formal negotiations with key partners immediately after we leave the EU and progress towards substantive deals as swiftly as possible so long as such deals work for Wales and the UK.
