<p>The Prime Minister’s Trade Envoys support the UK Government’s overall strategy
to drive economic growth, promote UK trade and encourage inward investment. In addition
to visiting their respective markets, Trade Envoys undertake a variety of activities
including meeting UK companies, hosting inward delegations, and speaking engagements.
Due to travel restrictions arising from the Coronavirus Pandemic, many visits to markets
were disrupted and Trade Envoys had to work virtually or through other means, strengthening
the relationships to support the Government’s trade and investment agenda.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Trade
