The British Brexit minister David Davis will lead a team to Brussels on
Monday for the first round of official talks to negotiate Britain
leaving the European Union (EU).
A statement issued by Davis'
department Sunday in London said "Despite European leaders' attempts to
leave open the possibility of Britain remaining in the UK, Davis will
make it clear that he is determined to achieve a Brexit deal that works
for the whole of the UK."

David Davis described the talks as a mission to deliver on the will of
the British people following the referendum of a year ago, Xinhua news
reported.
Davis will lead a team of experienced negotiators to
Brussels, confident that he can get a positive outcome and secure a new
deep and special partnership with the EU, said his spokesman.
"He
will also set out a bold vision for the UK's future after it leaves the
EU and the exciting opportunities that will arise from our exit," added
the statement.
After ten months of planning, Davis will meet
with the EU's Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier to agree the structure of
the negotiations ahead, so officials have a framework within which to
discuss substantive issues.
Davis said in a statement Sunday:
"Now, the hard work begins. We must secure a deal that works for all
parts of the United Kingdom, and enables us to become a truly global
Britain."
"Leaving gives us the opportunity to forge a bright
new future for the UK -- one where we are free to control our borders,
pass our own laws and do what independent sovereign countries do," he
said.
The start of the negotiations comes as work continues
across the British government to prepare Britain for life outside of the
EU.
