The Secretary of State for International Trade met her Government of India counterpart Minister Goyal during her visit to India, 12-13 December, and emphasised how our services exports can help to grow India's dynamic economy. Talks continue to be productive, and we look forward to reaching a deal that is fair, reciprocal, and ultimately in the best interests of the British people and the economy.
