The talks between both leaders were held after the first session of the G20 Summit. “Great to have met PM Rishi Sunak on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Delhi.

Sunak on Friday said that India is the right nation to be the G20 President and that too at the right time. “G20 has been a huge success for India. India is the right country at the right time to be hosting this,” Sunak said. “Feel we will have a very good couple of days of deliberations and decisions made,” Sunak further added. Sunak also reflected on the ongoing UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) deal talks between London and New Delhi and said he hopes that both nations will sign an ambitious agreement.
