She said the recent signing of the memorandum of understanding between the UK’s Export Finance Department and TT’s Ministry of Finance was significantly important.
"It holds the power to unpack future mutually beneficial projects," she said.
Both parties exchanged well wishes for future endeavours, marking the end of a productive tenure, said a ministry release on December 4.
