New Delhi [India], May 5 (ANI/NewsVoir): The UK India Business Council warmly welcomes the commitment of Prime Minister Boris Johnson MP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepening collaboration between our two countries.
As well as overcoming the immediate challenge of the pandemic, the collaboration extends to building a long-term partnership that creates jobs and prosperity, tackles medium- and long-term healthcare challenges, addresses climate change, and enhances the national security of both countries.
In particular, we welcome the UK-India Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP) and the intention to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The Prime Ministers also announced GBP 1 billion of new UK-India trade and investment. This is a great start, but only the beginning.
