Foreign media: During Prime Minister Starmer's visit to China, a new agreement was reached, reducing the tariff on Scottish whisky exports to China from 10% to 5%.
The UK government stated that this agreement will bring approximately £250 million in revenue to the UK economy over the next five years. China is one of the fastest-growing markets for Scottish whisky and is currently its tenth-largest market.
This reduction in tariffs will make Scottish distilleries more competitive in a competitive market, while also helping to create wealth and employment opportunities. In addition, Starmer announced other achievements, including visa-free travel for British citizens to China and enhanced cooperation in combating human trafficking.
