British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned on 20 October. She could not get the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) done during her 45-day tenure. On this, Indian Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that this agreement is on track and India will wait for the political changes taking place there to end.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal said- India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is going in the right direction. We will have to see what happens next in the UK. Is there a quick change in leadership or will the whole process go on? Looking at the political developments going on in the UK, we will have to wait and see who will take over the post only after that we will move on to the FTA.
Truss was announced...Free Trade Agreement with India till Diwali
Truss had promised that she would enter into a free trade agreement with India till Diwali. She had said – I will try to include life science, technology, and agriculture in this deal. He also talked about deepening defense and trade ties with India.
India-UK relations important
Britain's ties with India are strong. Britain started a strategic partnership with India in 2004. He sided with India in terrorism, nuclear activities, and the civilian space program. Britain supports India's permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UN). To this, Goyal said – whoever comes to the government would like to talk to us.
He said- I think trade agreements between the two countries should be fair. This agreement (FTA) will be beneficial for both countries. Unless both countries are satisfied with this agreement, there will be no agreement. So we will have to wait and see, but I believe our FTAs with the UK, Canada, and EU may be announced soon.
