British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron on Thursday said the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will deepen economic ties between the two countries, unlock new opportunities across sectors and strengthen the broader strategic partnership between the nations. The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Double Contribution Convention (DCC), also known as the social security agreement, will come into force on July 15. Calling the pact a major milestone, Cameron told ANI the agreement goes beyond trade and has the potential to transform cooperation in areas such as defence, education, technology and science.
