UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves plans to travel to Brussels to advocate for stronger economic ties with the European Union. This move represents a significant departure from the previous Conservative government's approach, as the new Labour administration seeks a more collaborative relationship with the bloc.

Reeves will address the Eurogroup meeting of European finance ministers, emphasizing the importance of trust, mutual respect, and pragmatism in building a partnership. She will also highlight the need to reduce trade barriers, promote investment opportunities, and facilitate market access for businesses on both sides.
