Steven Ciobo, Australian Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, said: “The business communities in Australia and the UK share the desire of governments to build a positive and forward looking relationship that maximises the opportunities for expanded trade and investment that will promote growth and jobs.”
UK International Trade Minister, Lord Price, said: “The UK and Australia share a strong commitment to global trade liberalisation and we will continue to work with other like-minded partners to be at the forefront of championing the global benefits of open markets and free trade.
“The discussions have reaffirmed our commitment to boosting trade relations between our countries and taken forward preparation on joint work to explore a future ambitious trade agreement once the UK has left the EU.
“I look forward to the Working Group advancing this agenda, and the Secretary of State’s visit next year will be an opportunity to keep up the momentum on this important work.

Australian minister Steven Ciobo, said: “We have a strong platform to build on. The UK is Australia’s second largest source of total foreign investment, and a major trade partner.

UK Secretary of State for International Trade Dr Liam Fox will travel to Australia early in 2017 to progress a free trade deal.
