Message from Dr Denis MacShane

Traditionally, Britain has enjoyed strong links with Latin America. In the 19th century, Britain provided crucial political support for the Bolivarian independence movement and unrivalled economic links followed. British firms led in the construction of railways, tramways, ports, bridges and other major public works with their world class expertise. Our current relationship is led by a renewed emphasis on modern political, cultural and economic links and, of course, our important trade and investments with Latin American countries. Annually, our exports are worth some £2.5 billion and British companies represented in the region read like an A-Z of the FTSE 100.
