"A landmark visit of the EU Commission to New Delhi last month reinforced the strategic ties between India and EU, which led to the resumption of the India-EU FTA. In addition to the successful signing of an India-EFTA Trade and Partnership Agreement, the India-UK FTA negotiations have also resumed. In the backdrop of an uncertain and ever-evolving geoeconomic landscape, India and Europe are strengthening their economic partnership at the right time." @shreyeah vifindia.org/article/2025/m…
