Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that there is a “new energy” in the relationship between India and the United Kingdom after his recent meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Mumbai.
Keir Starmer, who is on his first official visit to India as the UK’s Prime Minister, held detailed bilateral talks with PM Modi on Wednesday. The discussions mainly focused on strengthening trade, boosting technology cooperation, and enhancing strategic ties between the two countries.
In a joint statement after the meeting, PM Modi said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Starmer, India and the UK have seen significant progress in their relations. In July this year, during my visit to the UK, we signed the historic Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which has opened new doors for both nations.”
The two leaders also discussed cooperation in areas such as education, clean energy, defense, and innovation. Modi added that both countries share a commitment to democratic values and global peace, and their partnership is becoming stronger with each engagement.
Starmer’s visit marks a new chapter in India-UK ties, aiming to build a modern partnership focused on mutual growth and global collaboration.
