 The next document is a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India and the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy of the Government of the United Kingdom concerning cooperation with India's Global Center for Nuclear Energy Partnership. This will be exchanged on the UK side once again by His Excellency Mr. Alex Ellis, British High Commissioner to India, and on the Indian side by Foreign Secretary K. N. Vyas, Secretary Department of Atomic Energy. Excellencies, this concludes the exchange of agreements ceremony. I now request the spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry to conduct the proceedings. Good afternoon, Distinguished Prime Ministers, Members of both delegations, friends from the media. We will now begin with the press statements. I now request Mr. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, to make his press statement.

Both the countries are working on the free trade agreement. There is good progress in the conversation and we have decided to try our best in the direction of the end of this year's FTA. In the last few months, India has completed the free trade agreement with the UAE and Australia. With the same commitment, we will also want to move forward with the FTA. We have also made a contribution in the protection sector, manufacturing, technology, design and development in all areas. We welcome the support of Atmanirbhar Bharat through the UK. Friends, the trade reforms are taking place in India. We have also talked about our infrastructure modernization plan and national infrastructure pipeline. We welcome the newbies in India through the UK. We got to see a good example of this in Gujarat, in the halloween. People living in the UK, 1.6 million Indian people, are contributing to the social and economic situation in every region. We are proud of their achievements and we want to strengthen this life. In this direction, Prime Minister Johnson has done a great job as a leader. I congratulate him for this. Friends, we have taken the opportunity to fulfill our responsibilities in the 26th of May. Today, we have decided to strengthen our climate and energy partnership. We have invited the UK to join the National Hydrogen Mission in India. I welcome the establishment of the Strategic Tech Dialogue. Friends, today, we will have a very important discussion on the implementation and arrangements of global innovation partnership. This will strengthen our development and cooperation with other countries. In the third country, we will finance the transfer of made-in-India innovations and scaling up to 100 million dollars in India and the UK. With this, we will be able to achieve sustainable development goals and we will also be able to develop climate change. This will be very useful for our start-ups and MSME sector. We will be able to develop new markets and use our innovations globally. Friends, we have also discussed on the development of the region and other countries. We have made a free, open, inclusive and rule-based order. We have made an effort to build an Indo-Pacific region. India welcomes the decision to join the Indo-Pacific Ocean Initiative in the UK. We have immediately given strength to the dialogue and diplomacy to solve the problems of war and war. We have made a peaceful, stable and secure Afghanistan an inclusive and representative government. It is necessary that the use of Afghan land should not be used in other countries to spread terrorism. Excellency, you have always tried to strengthen the relations between India and the UK. Once again, I would like to thank you for your presence in India. I became the first Conservative Prime Minister to visit Gujarat, which is your birthplace in Narendra. As you have just said, the ancestral home of about half of all the British Indians. I had an amazing reception. I felt a bit like Sachin Tendulkar. My face was as ubiquitous as Amitabh Bachar. I was everywhere to be seen and it was fantastic. This morning we have had wonderful talks and I think they have strengthened our relationship in every way. In challenging times, it is very important that we, the Kastados, get closer together. I believe the partnership between Britain and India is one of the oldest democracies. India, certainly the largest democracy, is one of the defining friendships of our times. What we are doing is taking forward an ambitious 10-year roadmap for British-Indian relations that we agreed last year. It was great to see you at the G7, but since then the threats of autocratic coercion have grown even further. It is therefore vital that we deepen our cooperation, including our shared interest in keeping the Indo-Pacific open and free. So today we have agreed a new and expanded defence and security partnership, a decades-long commitment that will not only forge tighter bonds between us, but support your goal and the renderer of make in India. The UK is creating an India-specific open general export licence, reducing bureaucracy and slashing delivery times for defence procurement. We have agreed to work together to meet new threats across land, sea, air, space and cyber, including partnering on new fighter jet technology, maritime technologies to detect and respond to threats in the oceans. We are extending our partnership as science superpowers and building on the collaboration between Oxford and AstraZeneca, for instance at the Serum Institute of India, which vaccinated more than a billion people against Covid, including I am proud to say me. I have the Indian jab in my arms and a power of good. It did me so many thanks to India. And that has helped India to become what Narendra has called the pharmacy of the world. Today we are embarking on joint initiatives on malaria vaccines, on antimicrobial resistance and a digital partnership between the Indian National Health Authority and our NHS. We are also taking big steps together on energy security, helping each other to reduce our dependence on imported hydrocarbons and adopt cheaper, more sustainable homegrown alternatives. And we have a new offer, a new plan to develop offshore wind from the Celtic Sea to Damesh Kodi. We have got a new UK-India Hydrogen Science and Innovation Hub and we are taking forward the Green Grid Solar Power Initiative that you and I began Narendra at COP26 in Glasgow together with 80 other countries. It is an incredible fact that the sun provides enough energy every day to power the world 10,000 times over. You have a lot of solar power here in India. The sun is putting on a fantastic performance today. But we have quite a lot in Britain as well. These partnerships form the superstructure of the living bridge that Narendra describes between our countries. And today that bridge is humming with goods and services and people and capital, whizzing back and forth east to west. And sometimes it can be hard to tell whether something is British or Indian or frankly a Brindian. On Wednesday I went to the airport in a Range Rover, Indian-owned but made in Britain. And when I arrived here on Thursday I visited JCB, British-owned but made in India exporting 60,000 around the world by the way, 110 countries. Or take the example of the Norton motorbike now being revived in Britain by an Indian company. And I am very pleased that this visit has not only deepened our economic partnership. We've agreed new deals worth £1 billion and created more than 11,000 jobs across the UK in everything from electric buses to the robotic surgery of Smith and Nephew, which I saw yesterday, as well as in artificial intelligence where India's strengths are remarkable. And that's most significantly for the long term, we're making full use of the freedom that we now have to reach a free trade agreement, a deal where you can lift those tariffs, you can India, Narendra, on our machinery and apples, actually you've already done it on apples, so thank you for the apples. And in turn we can lift the tariffs on your rice and textiles. We've already closed four chapters and today we're announcing new measures to make it easier to export UK-made medical devices to India and ensure mutual recognition of UK higher education qualifications. And as the next round of talks begins here next week, we're telling our negotiators, get it done by Diwali in October, get it done by Diwali. This could double our trade and investment by the end of the decade, widening that living bridge into a multi-lane motorway, escalating with beautiful jointly made electric vehicles and creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs in both our countries. So as India celebrates its 75th year of independence, I am filled with optimism about the years ahead and the depth of the friendship between our countries and the security and the prosperity that our partnership can deliver for our people, for generations to come. Thank you all very much and thank you Prime Minister Modi. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Excellency. That concludes our press statements. Please remain seated as the dignitaries.
