International Desk:
British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned as PM.  She has to leave her PM chair only after 45 days.  This resignation has again increased the political and economic instability in Britain.  India is also going to be affected by this political upheaval in Britain.  There is a discussion going on for a long time that there will be a free trade agreement between India and Britain.  It was even being said that both the countries would announce it by Diwali, but now that Liz Truss has resigned from her post, this agreement seems to be getting stuck again in the middle.
In fact, it was said earlier that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself will go to Britain during Diwali and then the Prime Ministers of both the countries will meet and take a big decision on the Free Trade Agreement.  But the news is that now PM Modi may not visit Britain, seeing the kind of political instability going on there, he finds it difficult to go.  In that case, implementing this free trade agreement may prove to be a challenge.
Talking about the Free Trade Agreement, under this agreement, the trade between the two countries is increased, along with it, the work of eliminating any obstacles in import and export is done.  Subsidies, quotas, tariffs are also reduced in the free trade agreement itself.  Its benefit reaches both the countries.  Talking about India, if there is a free trade agreement, big growth can be seen in the export sector.  Apart from this, growth can also be registered in sectors like Agro, Leather, Textile.  At the same time, due to this agreement in Britain and India, employment opportunities will also increase manifold.  At present, India and Britain are in trade worth 50 billion dollars, the ambitious target has been kept at 100 billion dollars.  Now this can be accomplished only when trade can take place between the two countries without any hindrance.
