New Delhi — United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Mumbai early Wednesday, marking his first official visit to India since taking office. He landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, where he was received by Maharashtra and Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Described by No.10 Downing Street as a “two-day trade mission to Mumbai,” the visit aims to strengthen trade relations and advance strategic cooperation between India and the UK.
Prime Minister Starmer is accompanied by a high-level delegation including CEOs and senior executives from leading British industries, representatives from prominent universities and institutions, as well as the UK Minister for Trade and Business, Peter Kyle, and Investment Minister Jason Stockwood.
The visit follows Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to the UK in July 2025, during which both nations signed a long-awaited trade agreement. It comes amid global shifts, particularly as both countries reassess trade ties with the United States under President Donald Trump’s administration.
On Thursday, October 9, Starmer will meet PM Narendra Modi at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai. According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the leaders will review progress on the India–UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in line with the Vision 2035 roadmap, focusing on trade and investment, innovation, defence, climate, health, education, and people-to-people connections.
The leaders will also engage with businesses and industry representatives on opportunities presented by the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and exchange views on regional and global issues.
Both Prime Ministers are scheduled to deliver keynote addresses at the 6th Global Fintech Fest in Mumbai, engaging with policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators worldwide.
The MEA noted that the visit aims to build on the momentum generated by PM Modi’s UK visit in July 2025 and reaffirm the shared vision of a forward-looking India–UK partnership.
