David Lammy will seek to deepen UK- India economic ties as he visits New Delhi this weekend, saying Britain’s recently agreed trade deal with the country is “just the start of our ambitions”.

Trade and migration will be at the top of the agenda for the Foreign Secretary’s trip, during which he will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and external affairs minister S Jaishankar.

The Foreign Office said Mr Lammy would also raise “the recent escalation in tensions following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and how the welcomed sustained period of peace can be best supported in the interests of stability in the region”.
