What is the Welsh Government doing to help Welsh businesses and exporters take advantage of the Statement of Mutual Cooperation between the United Kingdom and Texas?

Answered by First Minister | Answered on 19/03/2024

The Welsh Government Export Action Plan for Wales details the comprehensive programme of support for Welsh businesses to develop their exports, and is delivered working in partnership with key stakeholders, including the Department for Business and Trade.

Through the Plan, we will continue to support businesses to prepare for and maximise opportunities from any new trade agreements. This includes supporting businesses in Wales to understand trading conditions, regulations and opportunities in target export markets, including those where trade agreements are in place; and, through our programme of overseas trade events to key markets which includes a number of planned trade visits to the USA in 2024/25 (including a trade mission to Texas in March 2025).
