The United Kingdom and India have signed a comprehensive free trade agreement after three years of negotiations. The deal is considered the most significant for the UK since its departure from the European Union and is India's largest outside Asia. The agreement covers sectors such as artificial intelligence, critical minerals, semiconductors, and cybersecurity, and includes tariff reductions on British whisky, cars, and food items, while granting near duty-free access for Indian textiles and electric vehicles to the UK market.

While the agreement has been celebrated as a major economic and political achievement, it has faced criticism over concessions made by the UK, particularly regarding temporary worker taxes and the exclusion of a proposed carbon tax. The deal does not address India's ongoing relationship with Russia, including its purchases of Russian oil and weapons, but both countries have prioritized economic cooperation over political differences.

Reino Unido e India firman un acuerdo de libre comercio durante la visita de Modi

Sellado con un apretón de manos y un cálido abrazo. Un acuerdo de libre comercio de tres años de duración entre el Reino Unido y la India. El acuerdo más importante para el Reino Unido desde que abandonó la UE. Y para India, el mayor fuera de Asia. Este es un día histórico, un momento histórico para nuestros dos países. El acuerdo Reino Unido-India está ahora firmado, sellado y listo para ser entregado. Un acuerdo ambicioso en su alcance. De la IA a los minerales críticos, de los semiconductores a la ciberseguridad, crearemos el futuro juntos. Las dos naciones, unidas por el amor al críquet, esperan ahora compartir más intercambios comerciales. también. India reducirá los aranceles sobre el whisky británico, los coches y algunos alimentos. Y a cambio, el Reino Unido ofrecerá un acceso casi libre de aranceles a los textiles y vehículos eléctricos indios. El acuerdo firmado en la residencia de campo del Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, allí mismo, ha sido aclamado como una gran victoria para el líder británico. Un premio económico y político en medio de las tensiones comerciales mundiales. Pero el Reino Unido hizo concesiones en cuestiones en las que India se mantuvo firme, lo que provocó críticas de la líder de la oposición. Los trabajadores indios en el Reino Unido de forma temporal no tendrán que pagar un impuesto que financia el Servicio Nacional de Salud y otras prestaciones durante tres años, aunque lo mismo se aplica a los trabajadores británicos en la India. Y se ha dejado fuera una propuesta de impuesto sobre el carbono dirigido a países con normas de emisiones menos estrictas. Pero el tema más polémico de todos ni siquiera se abordó. Los estrechos lazos que Narendra Modi mantiene con el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin. La India ha comprado petróleo y armas rusas con descuento por valor de miles de millones de dólares desde la invasión a gran escala de Ucrania, provocando advertencias del Secretario General de la OTAN, que ha amenazado con sanciones contra las naciones que hacen negocios con Rusia. Pero nada de eso ha hecho descarrilar este acuerdo histórico. Con el Reino Unido y la India eligiendo el pragmatismo sobre la política.
