British Foreign Minister David Lammy met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on June 7, 2025, to enhance UK–India cooperation on counter‑terrorism, following a fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10—their worst conflict in nearly 30 years, triggered by the April killing of 26 men in Indian Kashmir, blamed by New Delhi on Pakistan‑backed militants. Lammy praised the ceasefire and pledged continued work with India on anti-terror financing, law‑enforcement collaboration and judicial cooperation . They also discussed boosting economic ties, with Lammy affirming that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will soon visit India to sign a newly concluded free‑trade agreement. (PC: Reuters)
