Today marks a significant milestone as the Republic of India and the United Kingdom have resumed negotiations towards a trade deal that promises to foster economic ties and bolster mutual interests. This joint statement reflects our shared ambition for a robust trade partnership that stands to benefit both nations.

The impending trade agreement is not merely a continuation but a revitalisation of a long-standing relationship, built on mutual respect and historical ties. With a combined population of over 1.5 billion people and a diverse economy, India and the UK possess vast potential for collaboration across various sectors, including technology, healthcare, agriculture, and green energy.

The resumption of negotiations comes in a context where both countries are keen to reduce trade barriers, enhance investment flows, and create job opportunities. It is a recognition of the global economic landscape’s shifting dynamics and an opportunity to establish frameworks that adapt to the realities of the 21st century.

As we proceed, it is essential to ensure that the negotiations address not only immediate economic concerns but also long-term goals such as sustainability, innovation, and equitable growth. The trade relationship should reflect our values and priorities, promoting inclusive growth that benefits our citizens and nurtures our shared commitment to environmental stewardship.

We firmly believe that enhancing our economic partnership will unlock new avenues for trade, create a more prosperous future, and reinforce our commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law. As we embark on this journey of negotiation, we urge all stakeholders—governments, businesses, and communities—to engage constructively and collaboratively.

The resumption of these talks is a clear testament to the resilience of our two nations and the potential that lies ahead. Together, India and the UK can pave the way for an economically prosperous future, anchored by our shared goals and aspirations. We are optimistic about the positive outcomes that can emerge from this renewed dialogue and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
