"(UK Trade Secretary) Kemi Badenoch signs UK-Italy export and investment partnership on visit to Rome - the first such partnership between the UK and any EU country," the statement read.
The partnership will enhance UK exports, create jobs, increase wages and stimulate economic growth, as well as "boost a trade relationship worth more than �43 billion ($52 billion)," according to the statement.
"This partnership will boost trade and investment between British and Italian businesses, ease the path for valuable investment, and will crucially grow UK exports as we aim for our target of selling �1 trillion of goods and services a year to the world by the end of the decade," Badenoch said.
Both the UK and Italy are among the world's 10 largest economies, with their bilateral trade exceeding $52 billion, according to the UK government. This makes Italy the UK's 11th largest trading partner.
