CHEQUERS, UK, JUL 24 – The UK-India free trade agreement removes tariffs on about 99% of Indian exports and aims to create thousands of British jobs, officials said.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted PM Narendra Modi at Chequers, signing a landmark trade deal and firming up the 'Vision 2035' strategy.
