This document marks a reset in the UK鈥檚 approach to international trade. Building on Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), it is designed to stimulate economic growth, through delivery of targeted business support and working with international partners to achieve mutual benefit through more agile agreements.

The Trade Strategy recognises the UK鈥檚 unique position as a services superpower while supporting our advanced manufacturing base in a rapidly changing global landscape. It also sets out how the UK will deliver economic security as well as growth through trade.
