The Secretary of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander is delivering for Scotland on a trade mission to India this week - supporting key industry sectors and driving growth, investment & jobs.
The path-breaking India-UK CETA will create new job opportunities for youth, expand trade and benefit both our industries as well as consumers. In this context, PM Starmer and I discussed trade linkages and economic ties between our nations in the times to come. @Keir_Starmer
Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander met with Prime Minister Modi today as we seize the opportunities for Scotch whisky from our historic trade deal with India. @narendramodi | @D_G_Alexander | @UKinIndia
Two years on from the horrific October 7th attack by Hamas, we remember all those killed and those held in captivity. We must fight rising antisemitism here while doing everything we can to ensure the hostages are released, the killing stops and a durable and just peace is built.
On this trade mission we will be looking to take full advantage of the opportunities this crucial trade deal brings for Scotland.” 5/5
“Over the last year, as Trade Minister, I’ve worked closely with the Scotch Whisky Association and other Scottish businesses. I understand the challenges they face and that this deal with India could be transformative for the industry over the long term. 4/5
Secretary of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander said: “The historic trade deal the UK Government struck with India this year is great news for Scotland and especially our whisky industry. 1/5 x.com/UKGovScotland/…
🥃Scotch whisky is a big winner in the UK Government’s deal with India and the deal is set to grow the Scottish economy by £190m a year. 🏴Scottish Secretary @D_G_Alexander is in India with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, leading efforts to secure growth and jobs for Scotland.
Words from the Secretary of State for Scotland Douglas Alexander following yesterday's horrific attack in Manchester. 💬 “Terrorism always seeks to divide but as communities in both Manchester and East Renfrewshire have shown us, they will not succeed.”
The @icf_freeport will play a major role in reaching net zero. The Secretary of State for Scotland Douglas Alexander was in the Highlands to sign an MoU which will unlock £25 million of investment & help create up to 11,000 jobs across the region. @scotgov @D_G_Alexander
💬 "Even more investment, even more jobs, and an even brighter future for the Highlands." 📹 Secretary of State for Scotland Douglas Alexander visited Inverness today to sign the Inverness & Cromarty Green Freeport MoU. @D_G_Alexander
