Trade Agreements: Mexico

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the publication of negotiation objectives for trade deals with Mexico.

Answer: The UK is committed to seeking to ensure trade continuity with Mexico after the Transition Period ends on 31 December 2020. We continue to discuss with Mexico how to transition the EU-Mexico Global Agreement so that it functions in a bilateral context from 1 January 2021. In August 2019 my Rt Hon Friend the Foreign Secretary (Dominic Raab) visited Mexico to sign the UK-Mexico Partnership for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth. This Partnership Agreement underlines an intention on behalf of the UK and Mexico to seek an even more ambitious trading relationship in the future.
