 Rishi Sunak spoke with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the phone this morning, where they discussed the development of a major £8.4 trillion trade deal, known as the CPTPP. Mr Sunak said he was "excited by the relationship between the UK and Australia", which he said was "built on deep friendship and a shared approach to global challenges." He added: "The Free Trade Agreement, AUKUS and the UK’s potential accession to Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership were all examples of the strength of the relationship".
