Great momentum for UK–Indonesia trade.
We’ve signed a new Economic Growth Partnership which is a great boost for UK firms.
A flexible, business‑focused framework to tackle market access barriers and unlock more opportunities in a trading relationship already worth billions.
Last week went a little like…
🌏 @HMTCAsiaPacific met APAC Trade Envoys to explore recent and future opportunities to boost trade
🇮🇩 @NazShahBfd met @citylordmayor to discuss boosting UK–Indonesia trade
🤝 @biztradegovuk hosted Economy Ministers at the Western Balkans Summit

Honoured to present my credentials to President Marcos as 🇬🇧 Ambassador to 🇵🇭. I return after almost 20 years, with a renewed commitment to our ever-growing partnership. Matibay ang ating samahan at malalim and ating pagkakaibigan. May it continue to be so in the years ahead!
Great to support @IainMcNicol at #DSEI2025 yesterday discussing opportunities in Kuwait 🇰🇼 and Jordan 🇯🇴 with @DefenceHQ, @BAESystemsplc and @Babcockplc.
With @ADSgroupUK we also had chance to speak with @SystematicGroup, Angoka, and get a process update from with @Thermoteknix who were part of the @UKinJordan Defence Mission Lord McNicol joined earlier this year.

“I’d gone for run feeling perfectly fine. Less than 24 hours later, I was having a blood transfusion. That’s how fast life can change.
Dan, 31, was fit and enjoying life to the full when he was given the diagnosis of aplastic anaemia, a rare and life-threatening blood disorder.
