GCC chief visits London as UK seeks post-Brexit trade deals – The National

A GCC delegation will hold talks with the UK government on Friday to launch preparations for a potential trade deal.

A 14-week consultation period has begun, with the public and business invited to share their views, while negotiations for a deal will begin early next year.

The Secretary General of the GCC, Dr Nayef Al Hajraf, and members of the Bahraini government will hold bilateral talks with the UK's International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan. Bahrain currently holds the rotating presidency of the GCC.
