PM Modi, while addressing a joint presser after the successful conclusion of the meeting reiterated that India- United Kingdom relation will be an enduring symbol of global relations.
"With this Agreement, (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement), the import cost between the two countries will come down, new employment opportunities will be generated for the youth, trade will increase and this will benefit our industries and consumers. Your visit to India within just a few months of signing the Agreement, with the biggest business delegation ever accompanying you, is a symbol of the new vigour in India-UK partnership," PM Modi said speaking about the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.
"India and UK are natural partners. Mutual trust in values like democracy, freedom and rule of law lies in the foundation of our relations. In the current era of global instability, this growing partnership between India and UK has been an important base for global stability and economic progress," he added.
