Prime Minister hails India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement as a historic milestone for bilateral relations

• CETA is a comprehensive bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the United Kingdom, signed in July 2025, covering goods, services, investment, mobility, IPR, and digital trade.
• PM Modi announced on 17 June 2026 (from the G7 Summit in Evian) that CETA will enter into force on 15 July 2026.
• It is India's first FTA with a G7 economy and a flagship deliverable of the Viksit Bharat 2047 agenda.
• Examinable as a current affairs + IR + economy hybrid: ties into India's FTA strategy, services trade, and post-Brexit UK diplomacy.
