As India and the U.K. continue to negotiate a trade agreement — which was initially supposed to be ready by Deepavali of 2022 — External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar has said that he hoped the two countries will be able to find a mutually beneficial “landing point” for the deal.
“...And that [the Free Trade Agreement or FTA] is today very much the focus of what the Indian and British systems are negotiating, and where we hope that we will find a landing point which will work for both of us,” Dr. Jaishankar told an audience at a Deepavali diaspora reception on Monday evening in London, where the EAM is on an official visit.
