UK's Lammy arrives in India to push free trade deal

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy began working on Wednesday to reinvigorate a stalled push for a free-trade agreement with India after arriving in New Delhi for his first official visit. Lammy starts travelling to India less than three weeks after taking office following the Labour Party's election win under new Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Lammy will meet his Indian counterpart S. Jaishankar and commerce minister Goyal during his two-day trip to Delhi. He will also hold high-level meetings with environment and business leaders to galvanize support for action on the climate crisis, with indispensable partner India.
