Britain’s foreign minister has insisted during a visit to India that “a lot of progress” has been made in talks on a post-Brexit free-trade deal despite negotiators missing a recent deadline.
“We have made a lot of progress in the negotiations, and we continue to work for an agreement that works for both countries,” James Cleverly
said in an interview published on Sunday. “We have been very, very explicit that our partnership with India is one that matters to us and one we want to enhance and develop,” he was quoted as telling the paper during the two-day visit. India and UK have been negotiating for around 18 months on a trade deal.
