Reynolds and Goyal hope to sign an agreement in principle for the agreement this weekend pending the Prime Ministers Keir Starmer and Narendra Modi would then finalize the agreement later this year.
The two nations also negotiate a bilateral investment treaty in parallel with the trade agreement.
Last month, the two parties overcome an important obstacle in talks when they closed the chapter of mobility, which governs inter-social transfers. India has conceded that Great Britain will only offer minor changes to its visa regime.
Goyal left the United Kingdom earlier this week for a trip to Oslo and then in Brussels. The visits were focused on the size of the exemptions from new carbon tax diets.
At the time, negotiators had not yet resolved several key questions in the talks. Among them, the data location rules that India imposes on financial services companies; the description of the Indian territory in the free trade agreement; the Sunset clause in the investment treaty; And India calls to sculptures from the British nascent border tax on high -program raw materials.
“We have advanced this program to deliver a lot and our relationship was part of this story,” published Reynolds online after Goyal’s visit to the start of the week.
“I can’t wait to continue this work because I think it is an important message for the United Kingdom and India,” he said.
“We have been clear that we will only sign a fair, balanced agreement and, ultimately, in the best interest of the British people,” said the spokesman for the British government.
