Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps he plans to take to strengthen Wales' international business links.

My Rt hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade has visited Scotland and Northern Ireland, and has plans to visit Wales in November 2016.

The Department for International Trade, whilst representing the whole of the United Kingdom, also has an excellent working relationship with Welsh Government.

The five-year Exporting is GREAT campaign is designed to inspire and support UK companies to take advantage of the global appetite for UK products, skills and expertise in markets around the world, driving them to start exporting or increase their international business. This includes launching a Directory of UK businesses in November that will provide a world-leading platform for companies to promote themselves in lucrative global markets.
