UK, India Trying to Make Progress in FTA Talks

The U.K. and India last month held their 12th round of negotiations on a free trade agreement to discuss “ways to progress” the talks, the U.K.’s Department for Business and Trade said in a Sept. 1 news release. The two sides plan to hold another round of negotiations this month. They began the talks in 2022 (see 2201130026) and had hoped to conclude a majority of the negotiations by the end of last year (see 2208110014).
