Trade Minister visits Japan and South Korea to boost trade and promote Trade and Industrial Strategies.
Japan is an important contributor to the UK economy, with its investment stock worth over £78 billion at the end of 2023 and over 1,200 Japanese companies in the UK supporting over 150,000 British jobs.
Key sectors that benefit from UK-Japan trade include engineering, retail, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences. Rolls-Royce has a strong presence in both Japan and South Korea, demonstrating the value of Britain’s Asia Pacific trade ties for UK businesses.
