India and UK look to clinch trade deal in new London meeting
LONDON - British trade minister Jonathan Reynolds met his Indian counterpart Piyush Goyal in London on Friday in an unscheduled resumption of talks as the countries seek to clinch a free trade deal. Goyal returned to London for the talks, a British government spokesperson said, after a two-day visit earlier in the week ended without a final agreement.
After talks were delayed by a churn in British politics, with four different prime ministers in office since negotiations began, the Labour government that took power last year looked set to clinch a deal imminently.Businesses briefed on the outline of a deal on Tuesday said only a few issues remained outstanding, according to sources familiar with the discussions. Areas such as the reduction of tariffs on whisky and autos had been finalised, they added. Britain and India are also looking to conclude separate treaties on investment and social security, negotiated alongside the free-trade agreement.
