New Delhi: British PM Keir Starmer began his maiden India visit on an unusual note as his British Airways flight took off from London to Mumbai.

A video clip showed Starmer greeting passengers by stating: “This is the Prime Minister. I’m in the cockpit.. This is the biggest trade mission to India that the UK has ever sent. I’m looking forward to working with you as we explore all the opportunities in our new free trade agreement.”
