Intertrade UK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intertrade UK is a public body to promote trade within the UK which was announced as part of the UK government package to restore devolution.[1] It will be chaired by Arlene Foster.[2]

It was created alongside the East–West Council as part of a DUP deal behind the 2024 Northern Ireland Executive formation.[3] The body will oversee the new Northern Ireland trade deal.[4] This includes goods and services across the Irish Sea.[5]
