NTERNATIONAL Trade Secretary Liz Truss has raised hopes that the Commonwealth could become a trade platform as well as an organisation of friendly nations and allies.

Speaking to the Sunday Express in the aftermath of the Queen leading celebrations of Commonwealth Day last week, Ms Truss has emphasised that the organisation is now a key part of her drive to agree trade deals around the world. She said: “The Commonwealth is home to some of the world’s biggest and fastest-growing economies. Deeper trade ties with our Commonwealth friends and allies will help deliver jobs and prosperity across all parts of the country and help us build back better from this awful pandemic. “Negotiations are already under way with Australia and New Zealand, and we will start talks on a more advanced deal with Canada later this year.”
