Will the Minister confirm whether the Welsh Government has held any discussions with UKTI, the UK Government or the Japanese Government regarding the potential sale of fish from Welsh waters to Japan post-Brexit?
Answered by Minister for International Relations and the Welsh Language | Answered on 29/01/2019
The Welsh Government has a trade and investment team based at the British Embassy in Japan and officials have successfully worked with Welsh seafood businesses to develop trade in Japan.
Welsh Government officials also work in partnership with Department for International Trade (DIT) colleagues co-located at the British Embassy in Tokyo. Together, they pursue a wide range of Welsh seafood products, which could be introduced to the Japanese market.
