@nidhimanit@DoC_GoI@biztradegovuk Thanks Nidhi, it was brilliant to be back in Delhi and to see our teams hard at work, with the added bonus of round 10 coinciding with mango season!
A productive round. Thanks @KateThornUK and teams for all your efforts. We decided to continue with the momentum and move forward with pace.@DoC_GoI @biztradegovuk

Happy to welcome @KateThornUK the new UK Chief Negotiator for India UK FTA. It’s been a pleasure working with you Kate since ETP days………looking forward to work closely with you for a win win deal for both our countries. @DoC_GoI @biztradegovuk
This morning we hosted Lord Johnson, Minister for Investment, @chandruiyer and @KateThornUK to meet with Indian businesses invested in the UK
Indian businesses make a huge contribution to the UK economy already - only US businesses have invested more in recent years
@nidhimanit@RhiannonUKGov Thank you @nidhimanit it has been a pleasure and privilege to work with you, @RhiannonUKGov and our teams on the Enhanced Trade Partnership and now launching FTA negotiations.
Delighted to welcome UK’s Chief Negotiator to India for pre-FTA discussions with @DoC_GoI and interactions with UK and Indian businesses to help prepare for 🇮🇳🇬🇧 trade negotiations later this year.
