United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be visiting India from Wednesday (October 8, 2025), the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday (October 4).

The visit, on the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi “will build on the momentum and substance generated by the visit of Prime Minister Modi to the U.K. on 23–24 July 2025. It will provide a valuable opportunity to reaffirm the shared vision of India and the United Kingdom to build a forward-looking partnership.”

Mr. Starmer will be visiting Mumbai on Thursday (October 9), where “the two Prime Ministers will take stock of progress in diverse aspects of the India-U.K. Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in line with ‘Vision 2035’, a focussed and time bound 10-year Roadmap of programmes and initiatives in key pillars of trade and investment, technology and innovation, defence and security, climate and energy, health, education and people to people relations.”

“Both leaders will engage with businesses and industry leaders on opportunities presented by the India–U.K. Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) as a central pillar of the future India–U.K. economic partnership. They will also exchange views on issues of regional and global importance,” the statement added.
