Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what her trade priorities are for the 2021 UK presidency of the G7.

Our Rt Hon. Friend the Prime Minister has identified health, climate change, and global free trade as key priorities for the United Kingdom’s Presidency of the G7 in 2021.

Working with our G7 partners, we will work for a strong, sustained response to the pandemic and other global challenges, including strengthening global supply chains and the multilateral trading system. In addition, to help make sure that the global free trading system on which our economies are based remains fair, competitive and secure, our Rt Hon. Friend has announced a Panel on Economic Resilience too.
