Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is scheduled to visit India on October 8-9, 2025, at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This marks Starmer's first official trip to India as Prime Minister.

During the visit, the two leaders will meet in Mumbai on October 9 to assess the advancement of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, aligning with the "Vision 2035" roadmap. This 10-year plan focuses on programs and initiatives related to trade and investment, technology and innovation, defense and security, climate and energy, health, education, and interpersonal connections.

Both Prime Ministers will engage with business and industry leaders, exploring opportunities within the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which is considered a crucial element in the future economic collaboration between the two nations. They will also exchange views on regional and global matters.

Furthermore, Modi and Starmer are slated to participate in the 6th edition of the Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai, where they will deliver keynote addresses and interact with industry experts, policymakers, and innovators.

The visit aims to leverage the momentum generated from Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UK on July 23-24, 2025. It also presents a chance to reaffirm the shared vision of India and the United Kingdom in building a forward-looking partnership.

The India-UK FTA, signed in the presence of PM Modi and Keir Starmer, seeks to improve the exchange of goods and services between the two countries.
