Panel Discussion 1

Progress and sticking points: The India-UK FTA negotiations have been ongoing for some time. Can you elaborate on the areas where significant progress has been made, and what are the key hurdles that remain to be addressed before a final deal can be reached?
Balancing Interests: This FTA is expected to be India's most comprehensive trade deal. How can both India and the UK ensure the agreement benefits their respective economies and protects sensitive sectors?
Looking Ahead: The recent Indian elections have put the next round of negotiations on hold. Given the current state of the talks and the broader geopolitical landscape, what is your outlook on the timeline for finalizing the India-UK FTA?

Panel Discussion 2

Beyond Trade: Broadening the Agenda: While the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is a major focus, what other areas beyond trade can be prioritized to strengthen the relationship between the two nations? This could cover aspects like education, security cooperation, or technological innovation.
Bridging the Perception Gap: Public perception can sometimes differ from government goals. How can both the UK and India address any existing perception gaps regarding the benefits of a strong bilateral relationship, and ensure effective communication with their respective populations?
The Global Context: The international landscape is constantly evolving. How can the UK and India navigate geopolitical challenges and emerging global trends, such as the rise of China, to further strengthen their ties in the years ahead?
