British PM Starmer's India visit to focus on trade, investment, tech ties

Keir Starmer will begin his first official visit to India as British prime minister on Wednesday.

(BLOOMBERG)

The two-day visit, at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will see both leaders take stock of the progress made across all aspects of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in line with “Vision 2035”—a 10-year roadmap agreed alongside the India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) in July to build on the key pillars of the partnership.

The focus of the Modi-Starmer bilateral talks will be on the opportunities presented by the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), as the FTA is known, which is set to remove tariffs on over 90% of goods once it is ratified by the UK Parliament.

From 1 October, the \"collect request\" option for P2P transactions has been withdrawn. This is a decisive step to combat a surge in financial fraud within India's digital payments ecosystem.
