<p>We value our international agreements and want to continue to cooperate in key
global issues such as air services, trade, climate change, international development
and nuclear cooperation. We have agreed with the EU that they will notify treaty partners
that, during the implementation period, the UK is to be treated as a Member State
for the purposes of its international agreements. This approach provides a basis for
continuity across all relevant agreements.</p><p>A number of third countries (including
Canada, Chile, Israel, Switzerland, South Africa, and Singapore) have welcomed the
focus on delivering continuity into the implementation period. Countries are understandably
waiting for the notification to be issued by the EU before they are able to confirm
their clear agreement, and we are continuing to engage with them.</p><p>We are also
engaging with our international partners in order to put in place arrangements that
will come into force following the implementation period, and are making good progress
with this work.</p><p> </p>
