		</div><p>Britain has struck its first deal through the World Trade Organisation for a post-Brexit world, inking plans to stay part of a market for lucrative government contracts with dozens of trading partners.</p>
<p>The accord reached on Wednesday paves the way for Britain to retain its place among 47 WTO countries that are involved in the Government Procurement Agreement, including the European Union&#8217;s 28 and soon to be 27 members.</p>
<p>The arrangement ensures continuity of cross-border bidding for significant government contracts, though military contracts are generally excluded.</p>
<p>A Geneva-based trade official said the agreement was a relatively straightforward step but also important for ensuring access to a combined market valued at over 1.7 trillion US dollars.</p>
<p>Britain still faces unresolved issues when it comes to access for its goods and services markets after its withdrawal from the EU scheduled for March 29.</p>
