UK, Switzerland Making Progress on FTA, UK Says

The U.K. and Switzerland made “good progress” during a fifth round of negotiations earlier this month on an “enhanced” free trade deal, the U.K’s Department for Business and Trade said Oct. 30. The two countries plan to hold a sixth round in early 2025, the U.K. said, adding that a “stronger trade relationship with Switzerland will contribute to growth, jobs and prosperity in the UK.”
