Sunak to Zelenskyy: PM Modi meets world leaders at G7 summit

PM Modi also had a meeting with his British counterpart, Rishi Sunak, where they discussed bilateral relations and issues of common interest. The leaders met during the G7 summit in the southern Italian resort city. This follows their last in-person meeting at the G20 Summit in New Delhi in September, where they agreed to expedite the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with hopes of concluding them before India's general election. However, the trade talks are now expected to resume only after the new UK government is elected on July 4. (Pic credit: PTI)
