<p>As the Prime Minister set out during her visit to Africa last Summer, the Government
is committed to seeing a step change in our relationship with Africa in order to drive
forward trade and investment. The Africa Trade Services Unit was set up to act as
the single point of contact for UK companies exporting to Africa. The Unit responds
to all Africa trade enquiries, including those related to Gambia, and can support
UK companies through the delivery of trade services.</p><p> </p><p>The UK remains
committed to ensuring developing countries can reduce poverty through trading opportunities.
The Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Act 2018 enables the UK to put in place a trade
preferences scheme for developing countries that maintains the same level of access
as the EU's Generalised Scheme of Preferences, which will grant duty-free, quota-free
access to Least Developed Countries, including The Gambia.</p>
