UK wants India trade deal by Diwali but no compromise on quality

Live Mint  

Suspense loom around the free trade agreement between India and the United Kingdom with the UK intending to wrap the trade deal by Diwali but also asserting that the country will not compromise on the quality of the deal for speed and will only sign a deal that meets the interests of both the countries. "We do want to secure this ambitious trade deal, and we do want to seek to conclude talks by Diwali, but we are clear that the UK won't sacrifice quality for speed and we will only sign when we have a deal that meets both countries' interests," the spokesperson of Prime Minister Liz Truss told reporters. The comments from the spokesperson of the Prime Minister came even as the Diwali deadline for the trade deal, set by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, seems to be a long shot now. Braverman also talked about the Migration and Mobility Partnership clinched between her predecessor in the Home Office, Indian-origin former Home Secretary Priti Patel, and Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in May last year. Media reports from the UK also indicate that although Prime Minister Liz Truss is keen to clinch FTA by Diwali, she is aligned with her Home Secretary on the issue.
