Following their presidents’ meeting at the G20 conference in Brazil, Britain and India announced that they would resume their stalled negotiations to reach a free-trade agreement.
After assuming office in July, Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised his meeting with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi as “very productive” and promised that a trade agreement with Delhi will accelerate the economy of the United Kingdom.
“A new trade deal will support jobs and prosperity in the UK — and represent a step forward in our mission to deliver growth and opportunity across the country,” he wrote on X late on Monday.
UK and India will continue their delayed free trade negotiations.
The two nations would resume negotiations “in the new year” as Britain looks for “a new strategic partnership,” according to Starmer’s office hours earlier.
