expand exports of goods and services. Discussions are also continuing with the United Kingdom, Japan, the Gulf

to expand the existing trade agreement to cover the services sector, while free trade agreement talks with Canada have
also been launched. “In the face of new waves of protectionism in the European Union, we are continuing intensive
diplomatic and trade negotiations that are multifaceted, multidimensional and inclusive of all countries to ensure that
