Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed for a four-day visit to the UK and Maldives on Wednesday. His UK stop includes a meeting with British PM Keir Starmer and a possible audience with King Charles III. The highlight will be the formal signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, aiming to double trade from $60 billion to $120 billion by 2030. Discussions will cover regional and global issues of mutual concern. Modi will then travel to the Maldives from July 25-26 to reset strained ties following President Mohamed Muizzu’s election, signaling India’s renewed diplomatic engagement in the region. (PC: X)
