Expanding UK-Latin American Trade Opportunities and Bottlenecks

— What are the prospects for increasing these links between Latin America and the UK and what obstacles may stand in the way?

Expanding trade between the UK and Latin America could be a key opportunity for both regions following Brexit.

This event is run in partnership with the Department for International Trade.
