Commonwealth trade ministers gather today for the first-ever meeting of its kind, looking at ways of boosting trade relations among the 52 member nations. As the UK prepares to leave the European Union, it may be an opportunity for the UK government to discuss the trade landscape in a post-Brexit world. The meeting may offer a chance to lay the groundwork for future trade negotiations, once Article 50 has been activated, something due to take place at the end of March. As well as securing already strong existing relationships with nations such as Australia, Canada and India, the UK's trade minister Liam Fox may seek to explore opportunities elsewhere in the Commonwealth. How much does the Commonwealth trade with the UK and where are future opportunities for expanding trade? |
