The external affairs minister, who is in the UK, said the focus is on finding a "landing point" in the negotiations that works for both countries.
The free trade agreement (FTA) is very much the focus of the India-UK relationship today and India is hopeful of finding a "landing point" in the negotiations that works for both sides, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
At a special Diwali reception organised by the High Commission of India at Westminster Central Hall near the Houses of Parliament here on Monday evening, Mr Jaishankar addressed a large diaspora gathering during which he described the bilateral relationship with the UK as a "positive force" for the world.
He also shared insights into the fast pace of technological advances and socio-economic development underway in India, calling on the UK-based Indian diaspora - one of the largest in the world - to spread the story of the new India.
