UK and Swiss negotiators met Monday, for first time since the election, to restart talks on an enhanced and upgraded Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Switzerland is the UK's 10th largest trading partner and 7th largest export market, with total trade between the two countries worth £51 billion ($66.70 billion) in 2023. The talks, the first to take place under the Labor Government, provide a chance to further strengthen UK-Swiss trading relationship, drive economic growth and create jobs across the UK.
