New Delhi, July 5: After the Labour Party registered a massive victory in the UK general elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday congratulated incoming Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
"Heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Keir Starmer on the remarkable victory in the UK general elections. I look forward to our positive and constructive collaboration to further strengthen the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in all areas, fostering mutual growth and prosperity," PM Modi said in his message posted on X.
The Labour Party is all set to return to power after 14 years following the historic triumph with Starmer (61) becoming Britain's 58th Prime Minister.
"The change begins right here because this is your democracy, your community, and your future. You have voted and now it is time for us to deliver," he said after the resounding victory.
Last month, during a meeting with British PM Rishi Sunak on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and the UK during the NDA government's third term.
"There is great scope to deepen ties in sectors like semiconductors, technology, and trade," PM Modi stated after the meeting.
The two leaders extensively discussed the implementation of the Roadmap 2030 and expressed satisfaction with the progress across all areas of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This encompasses regular high-level political consultations, defense and security, trade and economic collaboration, critical and high technology sectors, as well as people-to-people ties.
