British PM arrives in India after trade deal

MUMBAI, Oct 08 (AFP): British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in India Wednesday, months after London and New Delhi signed a landmark free trade agreement, capping years of intense negotiations.
Starmer's first official trip to India, which he hopes will boost economic ties between the two nations, sees him accompanied by a 125-member delegation that includes top business leaders including British Airways chief executive Sean Doyle.
The two-day visit follows his July meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in London, where the pair signed the trade accord.
