Trade Agreements: Thailand
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what is the priority for the Government for negotiating a free trade agreement with Thailand.
- Answer
-
The Government has not commenced any negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Thailand. My department keeps its approach to FTAs under active review to support growth, resilience and the UK’s strategic interests.
Thailand is an important economic partner and a significant market for UK goods and services. We continue to engage closely with Thailand through a range of cooperation mechanisms, including the UK-Thailand Enhanced Trade Partnership, while assessing where future agreements could deliver the greatest value for the UK.
