# Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his British counterpart Keir Starmer that relations had made “significant progress”, as they pledged to unlock “unparalleled” economic opportunities. Starmer is on his first visit to India as premier, accompanied by a 125-member delegation, after the two countries signed a trade deal in London in July. Under the accord, India will slash tariffs on imports of British goods such as whisky, cosmetics and medical devices, while Britain will reduce duties on clothing, footwear and food products, including frozen prawns from India.
