The United Kingdom and India finalized a landmark free trade agreement today, aiming to boost economic ties and reduce barriers for businesses. Prime Minister Modi and Labour leader Starmer witnessed the signing of the deal, estimated to be worth £6 billion.
The agreement slashes tariffs – taxes on imports – and simplifies trade processes. This means goods like cars, chocolates, Scotch whisky, and salmon will become more affordable for consumers.
Experts predict the deal will benefit both nations, with increased opportunities for Indian migrants in the UK, according to Modi. However, not everyone is celebrating, as some express concerns about the deal's potential impact.
This historic agreement marks a significant step in strengthening the relationship between the UK and India, promising economic growth and new trade possibilities for both countries.
