Britain has taken its first step toward trade negotiations with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), asking British businesses what they want an agreement to cover.
The country is targeting a deal with the GCC as it looks to build new ties around the world following Britain’s exit from the European Union(EU). On Friday, a 14-week consultation will be launched, calling on the public and businesses to share their views on what a deal should look like. A meeting with the representatives of the GCC is also scheduled in London.
