He will meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss economic, defence, climate, tech, and education ties under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The FTA will make 99% of Indian exports to the UK duty-free, benefitting key sectors like textiles, pharma, and auto parts. Bilateral trade hit USD 55 billion in 2024, up 10% from 2023.
