Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday welcomed the operationalisation of the India-United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Agreement on Social Security, calling them a significant milestone in bilateral relations.
The Prime Minister said the agreements would further deepen economic cooperation between India and the UK and help convert shared goals into meaningful opportunities for citizens of both countries.
Highlighting the benefits of the trade pact, Modi said CETA would provide fresh momentum to farmers, entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), while enabling several key sectors to gain improved access to the UK market.
He added that the agreement would strengthen collaboration in areas such as technology, professional services and innovation, while also supporting greater mobility for skilled Indian professionals.
“This is a significant moment in the India-United Kingdom partnership. With the coming into force of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and the Agreement on Social Security, our economic linkages are going to get even deeper. Together, these agreements translate our shared ambition into tangible opportunities for our people,” Modi said in a post on X.
The implementation of CETA is expected to expand trade relations between the two nations and create new avenues for businesses, exporters and workers by improving market access and strengthening economic cooperation.(AGENCIES)
