UK PM Kier Starmer’s Mumbai visit to focus on FTA implementation

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s visit to Mumbai, the first trip to India in his official capacity, will bring the Trump administration to focus on increasing economic partnership and implementation at a time when he armed tariffs and seeks additional concessions within the scope of the Indo-US Trade Agreement (FTA).

In Mumbai on 9 October, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Starmer will evaluate the progress in different aspects of the India-England-England comprehensive strategic partnership in line with the ‘Vision 2035’.

As an official, both will be interested in businesses and industry leaders for opportunities offered by the India-England comprehensive economic and trade agreement. The India-England Free Trade Agreement brings together the world’s fifth and sixth largest economies. According to an official, Britain offered 99.1% of the tariff lines with 100% trade value, mostly with the entry into force of the FTA, he said.
The authority, the most comprehensive of India’s 26 -part FTAs, goes beyond traditional areas negotiated in past FTAs, and contains new fields such as gender, innovation and SMEs. FTA will provide more competitive market access to Indian businesses in focal sectors such as textile, leather, shoes, sports goods and toys, jewels and jewels, engineering goods, automobile parts and engines.

India has provided appropriate mobility provisions for talented Indian professionals, including independent professionals such as contracted service suppliers, business visitors, investors and yoga trainers, musicians and chefs.
