Prior to his trip, Fox said: “My message to companies and investors looking to do business with the UK is that we remain an outward-looking country, firing on all cylinders and a champion of global trade. We are most definitely open for business.”
“The UK has a well-established and strong relationship with the countries of South-East Asia, built on a foundation of shared values and interests and we want this partnership to continue to flourish.”
