<p>The British Government has an active programme of engagement with our international
partners outside the EU on a range of issues, including EU exit, where we keep countries
updated on a regular basis at key moments in the negotiations. As the Prime Minister
has said, the UK is leaving the European Union not Europe. The draft Withdrawal Agreement
and outline Political Declaration provide the basis for what will be the closest relationship
between the EU and any third country and signals the ambition of both sides to embark
on a new, deep and special partnership after the UK leaves the EU, as well as strengthened
relationships with other countries further afield.</p>
