British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Tuesday updated the House of Commons on his two-day visit to Mumbai last week with the country’s biggest trade delegation to India, scoring deals worth around 1.3 billion pounds.
Addressing Parliament as it resumed from recess this week, Starmer said both countries were united by the future following a “historic” trade deal struck in July to open up new opportunities for businesses and boost job creation.
The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s UK visit two months ago, is expected to significantly enhance the bilateral trade partnership from the current 44 billion pounds a year
