British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met business leaders on Wednesday in Mumbai and called the India-UK trade partnership "really important", which the UK struck after it left the European Union.

Speaking at an interaction with industry leaders, Starmer said, "This is the biggest trade mission that the United Kingdom has ever sent to India." He noted that his visit marks the "return leg" after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip to the UK earlier this year.
