The UK Prime Minister met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 Summit in Indonesia.

The leaders agreed on the enduring importance of the UK-India relationship, and of the living bridge between the countries.

They discussed the range of areas where the UK and India are working increasingly closely and have the opportunity to further develop links, including defense and security. They looked forward to the agreement of a UK-India free trade deal, which has the potential to unlock investment and increase jobs in both our countries, as well as expanding our deep cultural links, said a statement from Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street.

"UK Prime Minister and Prime Minister Modi agreed that the UK and India's shared values, not least our commitment to democracy, are a huge asset in international forums like the G20 and the Commonwealth," the statement added.

The Prime Ministers welcomed the opportunity to work together on challenges such as ending the war in Ukraine and tackling climate change under India's presidency of the G20 next year.
