Modi to meet King, PM in London
In London, Modi will meet new British PM Keir Starmer and King Charles III—showing just how important these relationships are post-Brexit.
The trip isn't just about trade; it also covers defense and education partnerships.
Then in Maldives, Modi will meet President Mohamed Muizzu, launch some India-backed projects, and join their Independence Day celebrations as guest of honor.
Strengthening regional ties—especially after last year's elections—is a key focus for both sides.
