India-UK trade deal's work began in 2007, finalised hours before Op Sindoor's start: Report
Work on India-UK trade deal, signed by PM Narendra Modi and UK PM Keir Starmer, began 18 years ago when Tony Blair headed UK government, TOI reported. Boris Johnson set a Diwali 2022 deadline for the deal but resigned three months later, and the deal didn't progress under Rishi Sunak either. The deal was reportedly finalised hours before Operation Sindoor.
