Question
To ask the Scottish Government with which countries it hopes to enter into memoranda of understanding, and on what date, as set out in its publication, Scotland's International Strategy: Delivering for Scotland.
Answer
Non-binding international agreements such as memoranda of understanding help support international collaboration between Scotland and our international partners across a range of policy areas. Sharing best practice with like-minded partners helps ensure that we develop and deliver effective policy at home. Details of active agreements with national and sub-national partners such as Ireland and Flanders can be found on the Scottish Government’s website. Any future agreements will be in line with the themes and objectives of our new international Strategy.
