Britain is keen to take advantage of its exit from the European Union to conclude international agreements, and during Boris Johnson, a large group of agreements with countries outside the bloc have been announced.
Former British Environment Secretary George Youstis stated this week that the agreement concluded by Liz Terrach last year with Australia when she was the Minister of Trade “gave very much for very little in return.
”
Sonak told parliament members on Thursday that he would not agree to any agreement unless he feels worthy of attention, after he discussed this issue with world leaders during the G20 summit this week in Bali.
“I met the Prime Minister (Indian Narendra) Modi and offered the progress made in the next free trade agreement (the Free Trade Agreement),” he added to the House of Commons.
He pointed out that he also discussed Britain’s joining the “comprehensive and progressive partnership agreement” with the heads of the ministers of Japan, Canada and Australia.
“When it comes to trade agreements, with any party, what I will not do is sacrifice quality for speed,” Sonak stressed.
“It is important to take enough time to obtain commercial agreements correctly,” he added.
However, Sonak pointed out that “there is great enthusiasm” among the leaders of the “Pacific Pacific Agreement” on the possibility of Britain’s accession, and “we will continue to end these negotiations as soon as possible. ”
Britain has officially submitted a request to join the “Comprehensive Pacific and Pacific Partnership Agreement”, which constituted the global GDP of its eleven members, 13. 4 percent last year.
The talks are ongoing with India on a bilateral agreement, despite the presence of some opposition within the British government on the number of visas that London will provide to Indian citizens as part of the agreement.
But it seems that the possibilities of concluding an imminent agreement with the United States are relatively far due to the current political situation in Washington, as Britain instead focuses on contracting agreements with the American states individually..
