London, September 9 (.).- British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, agreed this Saturday during the G20 summit in New Delhi that their governments were continuing to work “at a good pace” to reach a trade agreement bilateral free.
The leaders held “productive conversations” to reach this agreement, which Sunak said would benefit “businesses and workers in both countries” and would foster mutual trade “in both goods and services,” according to a statement released by Downing Street. .
On this note, the British conservative leader congratulated Modi on his country’s presidency of the G20 this year, which “has demonstrated India’s significant global leadership and influence.”
Meanwhile, the Indian president highlighted the “warm welcome” Sunak received on the Asian continent, where his family and wife are from.
“The leaders reflected on the close and growing relationship between the UK and India, exemplified by the ‘living bridge’ between our peoples,” the statement said, referring to migration links that partly arise from former British colonial rule.
The two leaders agreed that “it is important to build on the past and focus on the future, consolidating modern partnerships in defense technology, trade and cutting-edge innovation,” the note said.
