The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

Why it matters

The successful implementation of major trade agreements like CETA is central to the economic mandate of the Indian government. By establishing mechanisms for data exchange and deepening cooperation, the agreement provides a concrete pathway toward achieving the ambitious goal of doubling bilateral trade with the UK by 2030.

This initiative fits into a broader pattern of India strengthening its global economic partnerships. The JETCO meeting also coincided with discussions involving visiting UK mayors, underscoring a wider program of engagement involving government, business, and regional leaders from both countries.
