UK, Mexico Sign Post-Brexit Continuity Trade Deal
The United Kingdom and Mexico on Tuesday signed a continuity agreement to keep trade going under current terms after Brexit.
The UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT) said that the deal represents another step closer for the UK to joining the Comprehensive and Progressive agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The agreement, signed by the UK’s Secretary of State for International Trade Elizabeth Truss, and the Minister of Economy of Mexico Graciela Márquez Colín, “will maintain preferential access for trade between Mexico and the UK following the end of the UK’s Transition Period with the EU” on Dec. 31, 2020, the two countries said in a joint statement.
