<p>As we leave the European Union, we are seeking to replicate our existing EU free
trade agreements and other EU preferential arrangements, to ensure continuity in our
trade and investment relationships with third countries.</p><p>The Prime Minister
and Israeli Prime Minister established a joint trade working group in February 2017.
In March 2017, my noble friend, the then Minister of State for Trade Policy (Lord
Price CVO), visited Israel to chair the first meeting of the working group, which
is continuing to make positive progress towards ensuring a smooth transition.</p><p>Securing
continuity will be a strong foundation to build upon our already successful trading
relationships after we leave the EU, and we are making good progress.</p>
