Britain’s Foreign Secretary Arrives in India for Trade Talks

Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy has arrived in India for talks with ministers and business leaders.

The visit is being billed as an attempt to reset Britain’s relationship with the country and the Global South.

According to reports from the BBC, Lammy has called India an indispensable partner in the government’s efforts to grow the economy and tackle climate change.

With the country’s economy soon to be the third largest in the world, the new Labour government is eager to secure a free trade agreement.

Just three week’s old, Sir Keir Starmer’s administration has set its sight on India early.

Talks about a free trade agreement with India have been stalled for months, following negotiations over the last two years.
