Alongside 31 British business leaders, Cameron has embarked on a trade mission –starting in Jakarta, Indonesia. The itinerary includes Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore, and marks the first trade mission of the new government. It will also be the first time a British prime minister has visited Vietnam and the headquarters of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The prime minister said: “Over the next 20 years, 90 per cent of global growth is expected to come from outside Europe, and Britain must be poised to take advantage. That’s why I’m delighted to be taking British businesses to this vast and dynamic market, securing deals worth over £750m and creating opportunities for hard-working people back at home.” It backs Cameron’s statement last week that the UK needed to go to “the ends of the earth” to sell its goods.- The landscape for business and company law following the UK election
