NEW DELHI: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Mumbai on Wednesday leading the UK’s largest-ever trade mission to India.
Starmer is accompanied by a 125-member delegation including business executives and representatives of universities and cultural institutions.
The trip, which follows the signing of a multibillion-dollar free trade agreement in July, is the British premier’s first official visit to India since taking office last year.
“This is the biggest trade mission that the United Kingdom has ever sent into India,” he told a business gathering upon arrival in the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai.
“That FTA is really important for us. It’s the biggest deal that we’ve struck since we left the EU.”
