Boris Johnson's Big "India-Specific" Announcement On Defence Partnership
While addressing the media along with his British counterpart, PM Modi said, "While India is celebrating the "Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" (celebrations on the 75th year of independence), the UK Prime Minister's visit is historic." The two leaders stressed the progress of the Free Trade Agreement between the two countries, their climate commitments at Glasgow, and the need for a "free and open" Indo-Pacific.
"We aim to have a new Free Trade Agreement by Diwali...I have urged officials to get it done by Diwali. We appreciate the tariffs being dropped by India on certain goods and commodities and in return, we too are dropping some tariffs we levy. We also look forward to the close cooperation shared between the UK's NHS and India's health services," the British PM said.
