The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, will make his first official visit to India on October 8-9, 2025, at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced.
During the two-day visit, the two leaders are expected to review progress under the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership through the ‘Vision 2035’ roadmap, a 10-year plan covering trade and investment, technology and innovation, defence and security, climate and energy, health, education, and people-to-people ties.
On October 9 in Mumbai, Modi and Starmer will engage with business and industry leaders to explore opportunities presented by the India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The discussions will also cover issues of regional and global importance. Both leaders will attend the 6th edition of the Global Fintech Fest, delivering keynote addresses and interacting with innovators, policymakers, and industry experts.
Prime Minister Starmer’s visit is being closely watched as an opportunity to further cement India-UK ties across economic, technological, and strategic domains, while building on the momentum of the CETA pact and the Vision 2035 roadmap.
