PM Modi meets King Charles, India-UK sign Free Trade Agreement and more
In this episode of World Today, the focus is on the historic India-UK Free Trade Agreement signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United Kingdom. The deal aims to double bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030, giving 99% of Indian exports duty exemption. PM Modi also raised the issues of economic fugitives and Khalistani separatists in the UK. PM Modi also met King Charles III at Sandringham House in the United Kingdom, shortly after the signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement. The meeting reflected the ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries. The programme also covers US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releasing documents implicating former President Obama in the 2016 election, which President Trump lauded. Other major stories include the acute, man-made hunger crisis in Gaza, protests in Ukraine over a new anti-corruption law, and French President Emmanuel Macron suing a US podcaster.

Such Deals Difficult To Achieve: Sunil Bharti Mittal To NDTV On India-UK Agreement
New Delhi: Free trade agreements are not easy to bring about and the one between India and the UK -- signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK -- is a "historic moment" that will benefit both nations, Sunil Bharti Mittal, the Chairperson of Bharti Enterprises, has said. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Mr Mittal, whose group has had a presence in the UK for over a decade, said this deal will not just benefit India's farmers, but her artisans, MSMEs and even professionals like doctors and lawyers. Why this deal worked out, he said, is a "high degree of complementarity" between India and the UK, unlike most cases where "what you want is what the other side resists and vice versa". "What did India give? A huge market. That is evident. Big talent pool. Very, very special ingredient today in the world. And then, of course, it has low-cost manufacturing availability. On the other hand, UK has technologies, especially high-tech ones on nuclear, space, on defence, biosciences," he said. This, he said, is where India can benefit by tying up with the British companies or British companies investing in India. It also allows UK access to India's small and medium industries -- leather, leather footwear, hand tools, machine tools, gems and jewellery. "There are lots of small, small things which are not made in the UK and are imported from China or other places, now get a leg up under this FTA. So you should start seeing the goods, which are currently at about $23 billion. The machine exports, $14 billion, could probably double from there," he said. All of this, he said, adds up to an "extremely high" complementarity -- "If you combine these two, it's a force multiplier," he added. The Free Trade agreement will also work well in favour of Indian professionals like doctors or lawyers who earlier had to get additional degrees or sit for exams if they wanted to practice in the UK, he said. "And equally, those people who are coming from here to India, because as you set up shops there from the British side, they will also need to send people. And recognizing the parity or creating a parity between the two sides on qualification will be helpful," Mr Mittal said. Chandrajeet Banerjee, the Director General of the Confederation of Indian Industry told NDTV that the FTA will also lead to free flow of talent, doing away with the earlier situation where visa proved a bottleneck. "The UK has limited professionals in many, many sectors. And their ability to service many companies, many industries which are investing into the UK would be limited given the lack of skills that are required in those sectors. So to that extent, I don't see that Indian companies would not be able to have their professionals being involved to grow in the UK, to bring in them," he said. "Mobility, again, has found a lot of mention in the trade agreement and it actually gets facilitated by this trade agreement and enhanced by this trade agreement," he added.

New Delhi opens govt procurement to UK companies
Representational For the first time, India will open approximately 40,000 high-value contracts from central ministries and departments in sectors such as transport, green energy and infrastructure to UK bidders. UK-origin goods with just 20% domestic content will be treated as 'Class II' local suppliers under India's Public Procurement Order (PPO), a classification previously reserved for Indian suppliers with 20-50% local content under the CETA. India will offer concessions in government procurement to UK firms under the free trade agreement, a move experts see as a strategic shift away from using public procurement as a tool for domestic industrial development. After the UAE, India has opened its central government procurement for British companies, subject to certain conditions. "The GP chapter provides a legal guarantee for Indian suppliers to be treated on par with UK suppliers regarding social value considerations within procurement processes, ensuring a level playing field for Indian businesses to compete fairly," said an official.
