Growth is this Government's central mission, and increasing trade and investment with international partners, including Taiwan, will support that objective. Taiwan is the UK's sixth-largest trading partner in the Asia-Pacific region, with total bilateral trade reaching £8.9 billion in 2025.
At the recent 28th annual UK-Taiwan Trade Talks, both sides reaffirmed our shared ambition to grow trade and investment between our markets, using mechanisms including the UK-Taiwan Enhanced Trade Partnership and the work of the Office for Investment to deliver commercial outcomes.
