India and Britain signed several memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in the fields such as nuclear energy, education, wind energy, artificial intelligence (AI) on Friday, which is the last day of the two-day visit here of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Johnson's visit saw delegation-level talks and one-to-one discussions between the British prime minister and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.
During their meeting, the two prime ministers reiterated the need to focus on sustained economic recovery.
They expressed satisfaction at the progress made in implementation of the roadmap 2030 on bilateral ties launched at their virtual meeting in May last year.
They also highlighted progress in negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA) launched in January 2022 in the Indian capital New Delhi, agreeing to conclude majority of the talks on a comprehensive and balanced FTA by October this year.
Modi welcomed Britain's commitment to 1 billion U.S. dollars in investment on climate related projects in India over the next five years, according to media reports.
