UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham Plans Visit to India Amid Growing Trade Ties
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, appointed in July 2026, is eager to visit India soon, according to Acting British High Commissioner Ben Mellor. Burnham expressed this desire directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after taking office. The two countries aim to double bilateral trade to around $120 billion by 2030, with new deals worth £12 billion signed since the India-UK Free Trade Agreement came into force 100 days ago. Mellor highlighted the UK’s welcoming stance toward Indian investors and the improved business environment fostered by the agreement.
