Rushanara Ali MP Statement on stepping down as U.K. Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy following appointment as Shadow Investment and Small Business Minister.

“It has been a pleasure to serve as the U.K. Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Bangladesh since 2016. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and opportunity the role has brought, and I leave the role with pride, knowing that I have contributed to building strong bilateral relationships between the UK and Bangladesh. The cross-party nature of the Trade Envoy network is one of its great strengths. In my case, the role afforded me the opportunity to support and deepen relations and our economic ties between the UK and Bangladesh.”
