Starmer, Modi Meet in Mumbai to Deepen Trade, Business Ties

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his British counterpart Keir Starmer began their bilateral meeting in Mumbai on Thursday, as the UK leader pushes for swift implementation of the free trade agreement the two nations signed earlier this year.

Modi welcomed Starmer at Mumbai’s Raj Bhavan — the official residence of the Governor of Maharashtra — on Thursday, where the two leaders shook hands and posed for photographs. They are expected to issue a joint statement after their meeting and deliver keynote speeches at the Global Fintech Fest later in the day.
