Free trade talks in final phase with Diwali deadline in sight, says London Lord Mayor

The Hindu  

The free trade agreement talks between India and the UK are now in their final phase and despite some outstanding issues to be resolved, there is optimism on both sides that the Diwali deadline for a draft will be met, according to the Lord Mayor of London. Vincent Keaveny, the 693rd Lord Mayor who represents the financial hub of the City of London globally, has just returned from a four-day visit to India following meetings with leading Indian businesses and investors and finance chiefs at the Reserve Bank of India and Securities Exchange Board of India. As London’s ambassador for financial and professional services, the Lord Mayor's visit was aimed at strengthening India-U.K. financial services links, building strong and sustainable two-way capital flows. “It was a really good time to be in India with the FTA negotiations entering into their final phase,” Mr. Keaveny told PTI.
