UK Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle will visit New Delhi on June 2 to meet Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and discuss the early implementation of the UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The deal aims to strengthen bilateral trade, already valued at £48 billion annually, amid global economic disruptions caused by conflicts and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Once in force, the agreement will remove 99% of UK tariffs and 90% of Indian tariffs, making trade easier and cheaper. Kyle will also meet business leaders from both countries to help firms prepare for the landmark trade deal.
