<p>The Department for International Trade leads on this issue. Most recently, the
Secretary of State for International Trade met his Ecuadorean counterpart, Mr Pablo
Campana, on 24 January. Discussions focused on replicating the current broader EU-Andean
Free Trade Agreement into a bilateral agreement with the UK, to ensure there is no
disruption to our trading relationship as we leave the EU. More widely, British Government
officials, including our Ambassador in Quito, are in regular contact with the Ecuadorean
government on a variety of bilateral issues, including the economic relationship.
UK goods exports to Ecuador more than doubled following the entry into force of the
EU Ecuador Trade Agreement in January 2017.</p>
