India UK trade relations : Modi aur UK PM Keir Starmer ki Mumbai me Mulaqat

 Bharat ke Wazir-e-Azam  (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi  ne  UK ke Prime Minister Keir Starmer se  Mumbai  me mulaqat ki. Starmer apni pehli official India visit par hain. Dono leaders ne ek dusre se   bahut garam joshi mile aur guftagu ki.

 

Trade aur Business Relations par Focus

Keir Starmer ne Mumbai me business leaders ke saath mukhtalif meetings ki aur  India-UK trade partnership  ko  bohot aham qarar diya. Unhone kaha,

‘Yeh United Kingdom ka sabse bada trade mission hai jo humne kabhi India bheja hai.’

Unhone 2025 me dono mulkon ke darmiyan sign hue  Free Trade Agreement (FTA) ko highlight karte hue kaha:  ‘Yeh ek bohot bada aur aham deal hai — Brexit ke baad UK ka sabse bada trade agreement, aur shayad India ka bhi sabse bada’

Is deal ka maqsad dono deshon ke darmiyan  £25.5 billion tak ka annual trade badhana hai.

  

Cultural Ties: Diwali aur Bollywood

Apni visit ke dauran Starmer ne Mumbai me  Diwali ke diye jalaye, jo dono deshon ke beech ke  gehre cultural rishton ki nishani hai. Unhone ye bhi elaan kiya ke  India ke mashhoor Yash Raj Films (YRF) ki  teen badi filmein 2026 se UK ke mukhtalif shehron me shoot  ki jayengi. Yeh faisla dono deshon ke film aur creative industries ke beech ek naye daur ke cooperation ko darshata hai.

 

India UK trade relations : Sports aur Youth Development

Starmer ne Mumbai me football fans se bhi mulaqat ki aur  Premier League ke training programme ki tareef ki, jo India me football talent ko develop karne me madad kar raha hai.

Unhone kaha ke sports ke zariye  UK aur India ke beech youth exchange aur friendship aur mazboot ho rahi hai.

 

Diplomatic aur Economic Significance

 Yeh visit PM Modi ke  July 2025 ke UK tour ke baad hui hai, jisme lagbhag  £6 billion  ke naye investment aur export deals final kiye gaye the.

• Dono leaders ka maqsad hai ke India aur UK ke darmiyan:
•  Trade aur investment badhaya jaye,
•  Cultural aur educational ties mazboot banein,
•   aur dono desh ek naye  strategic partnership ke daur  me qadam rakhein.

Global stage par

Keir Starmer ki yeh pehli India visit symbolic aur practical dono tor par aham mani ja rahi hai.

Trade, culture, aur sports ke zariye dono mulkon ke beech rishton me nayi taaqat aa rahi hai. Diwali celebration, Bollywood collaborations aur trade talks — yeh sab UK aur India ke beech ke  deep friendship  ka saboot hain.

Experts ka kehna hai ke agar yeh partnership isi raftar se aage badhti rahi to agle chand saalon me  India-UK relation  global stage par ek naya benchmark set kar sakta hai.
