PM Modi in London: India, UK to Sign Free Trade Agreement
Imagine India and the UK are like two friends who want to trade toys.
They're making a special deal called a Free Trade Agreement, or FTA.
Prime Minister Modi went to the UK to sign it!
This deal makes it easier for them to trade, meaning Indian toys can be sold in the UK, and UK toys can be sold in India without extra charges.
After three years of talks, this new deal allows nearly all Indian goods to be sold in UK without tariffs, making it easier for them to make money and create jobs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the UK for a two-day visit.
Modi is expected to sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the UK.
The FTA aims to open trade and boost economic partnership between the countries.
The trade deal was firmed up after three years of negotiations.
The deal will offer comprehensive market access for Indian goods and tariff elimination.
