This marked Starmer\u2019s first official visit to India and underscored the growing strategic partnership between the two nations. The visit followed Prime Minister Modi\u2019s trip to the UK in July 2025, where both countries signed the India\u2013UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and adopted the India\u2013UK Vision 2035 and a Defence Industrial Roadmap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%A4%9D_Strengthening_the_Comprehensive_Strategic_Partnership\"><\/span>\ud83e\udd1d Strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During their talks in Mumbai, both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a robust and multifaceted partnership.
