The Dialogue builds on the successful inaugural Trade Dialogue in Baltimore, US, earlier in March. Drawing on the stakeholder discussions and bilateral talks Secretary of State Trevelyan and Ambassador Tai held in Aberdeen and Baltimore, they directed their teams to work at pace over the next several weeks to develop an ambitious roadmap with economically meaningful outcomes in a number of areas, including:


  • Supporting SMEs to trade
  • Harnessing the benefits of digital trade
  • Levelling up and worker-centric trade
  • Supporting resilient supply chains
  • Food security
  • Supporting the environment and climate action
  • Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
