<p>The UK is committed to working with the three pillars of the Commonwealth – the
Secretariat, its member states, and its civil society organisations and networks -
to build closer social and economic ties. We were particularly pleased to host Commonwealth
partners, including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, at the sixth Commonwealth
Trade Ministers' Meeting in London last October. The meeting reaffirmed our shared
commitment to deepening trade and investment ties across the Commonwealth, including
through our plans for Free Trade Agreements following our departure from the EU. Canada,
Australia and New Zealand are close and natural partners based on our shared history
and values. These are invaluable relationships for the UK, which are further strengthened
through our Commonwealth cooperation.</p>
