Ahead of the 12th round of the India-U.K. free trade agreement (FTA) negotiations starting in New Delhi on August 16, the Indian High Commissioner to the U.K. has expressed optimism that officials on both sides will be “able to get something working” and find a “right fit” towards a mutually beneficial pact.
High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami told PTI that he is positive as both countries seem keen to make necessary adjustments, recognising the complexities involved with the very different structures of the two similar-sized economies.
On the wider bilateral partnership, he expressed similar optimism around an “obvious synergy” across different sectors.
