The group is being led by Sajid Javid, secretary of state for Business, Innovation and Skills, and Lord Maude of Horsham, minister of state for Trade and Investment is also present, as well as Anna Soubry, minister of state for Small Business, Industry and Enterprise.

The Trade Mission has been organised by UKTI for Northern companies to gain insights into two of South East Asia’s most vibrant markets, Singapore and Malaysia. It is concurrent with a mission being led by prime minister David Cameron to South East Asia. Sajid Javid’s party and David Cameron’s party have had the opportunity to meet up at receptions and events organised by the British High Commission.
