MUMBAI : Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that relations between India and the United Kingdom were “on the move and filled with great vigour,” as he shared a photograph with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during their meeting in Mumbai.
“India-UK friendship is on the move and is filled with great vigour! A picture from earlier today, when my friend PM Starmer and I began our journey to attend the Global Fintech Fest,” Modi wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Starmer is in India on a three-day visit focused on trade, investment, and technology cooperation. The two leaders are expected to discuss progress on the long-pending bilateral free trade agreement, along with opportunities in innovation, digital governance, and climate partnerships.
The visit marks Starmer’s first to India since taking office earlier this year and signals a renewed momentum in the relationship between the two democracies.
In Mumbai, PM Modi and UK PM Starmer celebrated the energetic India-UK friendship. Their discussions centered on enhancing trade and technology ties, with a focus on a free trade agreement and collaboration in innovation and climate initiatives, marking Starmer's first visit to India since taking office.
