India, UK carrying out intensive discussions on FTA: MEA
 
New Delhi: India and the UK are carrying out intensive discussions for a free trade agreement as both sides are keen to conclude it at the earliest, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Friday amid indication that the previously-set Diwali deadline for the ambitious deal could be difficult to meet.

The MEA's comments came in the backdrop of UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman expressing reservations over the proposed pact on the grounds that it could increase immigration to the UK and go against the goals of Brexit.

"As we have said before, there is interest on both sides to conclude the free trade agreement at the earliest... I think Diwali was set as a goal, but that's only a goal," MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a media briefing.
