Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein have reached agreements with Britain on their post-Brexit trade relations, the countries said on Friday.

Since Britain departed from the European Union last year and a transition period that ended on Dec. 31, Britain and EU outsiders Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein have relied on temporary trade arrangements. "The deal allows for growth in trade for both our countries," Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg told a news conference in Oslo.

Total trade between Britain and Norway was 20.4 billion pounds ($28.81 billion) in 2020, making it Britain's 13th largest trading partner.
