“We are united in the belief that there is no place for double standards in the fight against terrorism.

He added that the bilateral deal between the countries will benefit the Indian youth, farmers, fishermen, and the MSME sector. Under the FTA with the UK, the exports of the generic medicines and medical devices, like X-ray systems and surgical instruments, will get a major boost.
