PM Modi's Day 2 Schedule

On the second day of his visit, the Prime Minister’s schedule remains tight, featuring back-to-back engagements, including a key bilateral meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is in India on his first official visit at Modi’s invitation. The meeting is being viewed as a major step forward in deepening the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office, Modi will host Starmer at Mumbai’s Raj Bhavan around 10 am, followed by the India–UK CEO Forum at the Jio World Centre at 1:40 pm. Later in the afternoon, both leaders will address the 6th edition of the Global Fintech Fest 2025, scheduled for 2:45 pm.

10-Year Roadmap Over Free Trade Agreement To Be Discussed During Bilateral Talks

During their bilateral discussions, the two leaders are expected to review the 'Vision 2035' roadmap, a 10-year plan aligned with the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signed in July. The FTA, valued at approximately £6 billion in new investments and export gains, aims to create over 2,200 jobs in the UK while reducing tariffs on British goods entering the Indian market.

The discussions will cover a broad range of strategic areas, including trade and investment, defence cooperation, clean energy transition, digital innovation, education, healthcare, and climate resilience. Both leaders will also engage with business executives and industry experts to explore emerging opportunities under the proposed India–UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which is expected to serve as a key pillar in their future economic relationship.

At the Global Fintech Fest, innovators, regulators, central bankers, investors, and policymakers from across the world will gather under the theme 'Empowering Finance for a Better World – Powered by AI, Augmented Intelligence, Innovation, and Inclusion.' The event displays the synergy between technology and human insight in shaping an ethical, inclusive and sustainable financial ecosystem for the future.
