It ushers in a new era of economic cooperation, reinvigorating our bilateral trade ties,' he said. The Minister also congratulated both the people of the nation, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer through his post on Thursday. 'Congratulations to Prime Minister @NarendraModi ji, UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, and the people of India & the United Kingdom on the signing of the landmark India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA),' said Goyal in his post on X.
