New UK, Oklahoma MOU Is 4th Between Britain and a US State

British Trade Minister Nigel Huddleston signed a memorandum of understanding with Oklahoma April 18 to stimulate trade and investment between the two parties, marking the fourth MOU inked between the U.K. and a U.S. state. The U.K.'s Department of International Trade said the MOU will "unlock opportunities for UK businesses to export more and encourage inward investment, which will in turn drive economic growth and create jobs in the UK, contributing to the government’s priority to grow the economy." Huddleston also was scheduled to attend an event to welcome a mutual recognition agreement between British and American regulators of architects.
