British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, on his first official visit to India, met business leaders in Mumbai on Wednesday. He called the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signed in July the “biggest deal since leaving the European Union.” Starmer said the pact will boost trade between the two countries by £25.5 billion each year. The deal removes tariffs on goods like whisky, textiles, and cars. It is expected to create thousands of jobs in both nations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed Starmer, calling the visit “historic” and key to a stronger India-UK partnership. (PC: X)
