India and the UK also agreed to ramp up joint efforts against organised crime, serious fraud, and illegal migration with a new framework signed between the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the National Crime Agency (NCA) of the UK.

On the matter of extradition of economic offenders, "our agencies" will continue to work together in close coordination and cooperation, Modi said at a joint press briefing with his UK counterpart Keir Starmer in London. The agreement seeks to increase cooperation in tackling corruption, serious fraud, organised crime, and irregular migration through enhanced intelligence-sharing and operational collaboration.
