Britain’s free trade agreements with New Zealand and Australia will come into force by the end of this month, the leaders from the three nations said Friday.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—
The deals are part of Britain’s efforts to expand its economic ties after it left the European Union. Both deals were first agreed to in 2021. “The market access outcomes are among the very best New Zealand has secured in any trade deal,” Hipkins said in a statement. “This deal will unlock new opportunities for businesses and investors across New Zealand and the United Kingdom, drive growth, boost jobs, and, most importantly, build a more prosperous future for the next generation,” Sunak said in a statement.“So for beef, for our sheep products, for our seafood, for our other products it will mean much greater access to the British market,” Albanese told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. in an interview.
