Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the newly signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement as a “historic milestone that will catalyse trade, investment, growth, job creation and innovation” in both nations. Finalised during a phone call between PM Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the landmark pact lowers tariffs on goods like whisky, lamb, and auto parts, while establishing import quotas. The agreement also strengthens economic and people-to-people ties under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. PM Starmer called it a key step in his “Plan for Change” to build a stronger, more secure UK economy. Modi invited Starmer to visit India soon.
