The participants discussed the latest trade trends and economic cooperation measures between Korea and the UK. They exchanged views on the UK government's trade and growth strategies, the Korean business environment, and opportunities in the energy and sustainability sectors.

Secretary Alexander stated, "As the global trade environment is rapidly changing with increasing complexity and uncertainty, the UK is pursuing its trade and investment strategy under the principle of 'encouraging what we can and protecting what we must.' Korea is an important partner in key areas such as digital trade, green technology, and supply chain resilience. Based on our shared values of stability, openness, and innovation, our two countries can further strengthen our future economic cooperation."

Gil said, "The UK and Korea share three strategic goals: trade, innovation, and building trust. I hope this roundtable will serve as an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding and further solidify future-oriented economic cooperation between our two countries. Deloitte Korea Group will actively support sustainable and innovative growth for companies from both countries in advanced industries such as AI, clean energy, and digital finance."
