India started discussion based on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Britain last January. But it was postponed due to various reasons. It is in this context that Modi mentioned this while congratulating Rishi Sunak.
Rishi Sunak was declared as the PM of Britain last Tuesday. He is the fifth Conservative Party leader elected to the top post in the past six years. He is also the first Indian origin British Prime Minister.
