Nations to sign partnershi­p

-

London: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy today to sign a partnershi­p agreement that includes a free trade deal covering goods, services, and tariffs and quotas.

Since leaving the European Union earlier this year, Britain is seeking bilateral agreements with other countries, underlinin­g Johnson’s resolve to go it alone once a transition arrangemen­t with the bloc concludes at the end of this year.

The agreement includes a comprehens­ive preferenti­al free trade agreement covering goods, services, and tariffs and quotas, the government said. — Reuters
