Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is beginning a three-nation visit to south-east Asia as the UK looks to promote closer ties and trade with the region post-Brexit.

Mr Raab’s trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Singapore comes the week after the UK announced the broad outlines of a free trade deal with Australia.
