Delighted to join the reception hosted by the British High Commissioner to India, Ms Lindy Cameron, marking the formal commencement of the UK–India FTA on 15 July 2026. The FTA marks a defining milestone in strengthening trade, investment, innovation, and strategic partnership between our two nations. It was a pleasure interacting with industry leaders on unlocking new opportunities for businesses on both sides. My sincere thanks to Ms Lindy Cameron for her warm hospitality and for hosting a memorable evening.

Hey, ever heard of a CETA? 🤔

Well, you're about to. Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore just dropped some major news: India and the UK have agreed on a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement this year!

This is HUGE. Think of it as a super-powered handshake between two nations that says, "Let's make doing business together way easier."

The TL;DR on why this matters:

🇮🇳 For India: A massive boost for "Make in India." Our goods and services get a VIP pass to the UK market. More jobs, more growth. 💼📈

🇬🇧 For the UK: A golden ticket into one of the world's biggest economies post-Brexit.

👨‍🎓 For Students & Pros: Potentially way easier to study, work, and live in each other's countries. ✈️🎓

It’s Strategic: This isn't just about trade. It's about tech, defense, and building a strong future together.

All of this is happening under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, who's been pushing for India to play a bigger role on the global stage.
