Keir Starmer is the UK's new Prime Minister after his Labour Party swept to power in a landslide general election victory.
The UK has seen its sixth prime minister since the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Both countries may sign the long-awaited Free Trade Agreement (FTA) by the end of this year without any further delay.
The Labour Party often seen as ‘anti-India’ will not be the same under Keir Starmer. Starmer recognizes the growing political influence of the UK’s Indian origin population — which is the largest immigrant group in the country.
