Details

The agreement in principle reflects what the UK and New Zealand negotiating teams have jointly decided as of 20 October 2021 should be included in the agreement once it is finalised. The accompanying explainer provides a summary of what has been agreed in principle.

The agreement in principle does not prejudge the outcome of the negotiations or any further proposals for commitments either the UK or New Zealand may make after this date. It is also not intended to create any treaty obligations.

The negotiating teams are now starting the necessary processes for signature.
