Felt like dream: Children who performed for PM Modi in Maldives share unforgettable moment
Male: Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a heartwarming welcome from children of the Indian diaspora in the Maldives, who performed a traditional classical dance upon his arrival at the Kurumba Village Resort on Friday. The performance was part of a vibrant cultural reception during PM Modi's two-day state visit to the island nation. The children, dressed in traditional attire, had prepared for weeks to greet the Prime Minister through dance, showcasing India's cultural heritage and the emotional bond shared by the diaspora with their homeland. One of the young performers described the experience as surreal: 'It felt like a dream. After our performance, he asked the security to remove the barricade and came close to us, applauding each one of us. It was such a special moment, once in a lifetime,' she said, beaming with pride. Another student shared, 'We had practised so hard for this day. I never thought I'd get to see the Prime Minister this close, let alone perform for him. He smiled and waved at us, I'll never forget it.' Parents of the children, who were also present, were deeply moved by the interaction. A member of the Indian diaspora said, 'The feeling can't be expressed. I feel so blessed and privileged that I got the opportunity to meet him. He even played with my child. His aura is so powerful and kind; he truly loves children.' Another woman said, 'We had sleepless nights preparing for this day. His energy and presence are so inspiring. It felt like a dream come true for all of us.' PM Modi arrived at Velana International Airport earlier in the day and was received by Maldivian President Dr Mohamed Muizzu with ceremonial honours, traditional music, and chants of 'Vande Mataram'. The Prime Minister is in the Maldives as the Guest of Honour at the country's 60th Independence Day celebrations, marking his third visit to the island nation and the first by any head of state or government during President Muizzu's tenure. His visit reflects India's deepening cultural and strategic ties with the Maldives under the 'Neighbourhood First' policy.

'UK trade pact will help us, India must sign more', says RBI Guv Malhotra
Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Friday welcomed the newly signed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the United Kingdom (UK), emphasising that it will benefit many sectors of the Indian economy. Speaking at the FE Modern BFSI Summit, Malhotra said that global cooperation through multilateral agreements has slowed down, making such bilateral trade deals more important than ever. 'Hopefully it [FTA with UK] should help us... that is the way going forward now, because unfortunately multilateralism seems to have taken a back seat,' he said, as quoted by news agency PTI. Malhotra said India should pursue similar trade agreements with other countries. He added that negotiations with the United States are already in 'advanced stages'. 'It should help various sectors in our manufacturing as well as on the services side,' he said, referring to the UK deal. Malhotra further mentioned that several other trade pacts are currently under negotiation. He also expressed support for US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who is facing criticism from President Donald Trump. 'He [Powell] is doing a very good job. Maintaining independence of the central bank is very important. I think he has done a commendable job,' Malhotra said. India-UK free trade agreement India and the UK on Thursday signed the FTA, officially called the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to London. Approved by the Union Cabinet earlier this week, the agreement is expected to increase bilateral trade by $34 billion annually. Under the trade agreement, Indian farmers and exporters will get duty-free access to the UK market for a range of agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, spices (like turmeric, pepper, and cardamom), and processed foods including mango pulp, pickles, and ready-to-eat items. The government expects agricultural exports to grow by more than 20 per cent in the next three years, helping India meet its target of $100 billion in agri-exports by 2030. Marine products from India will also enjoy zero tariffs in the UK, which could lead to better earnings for Indian fishermen due to higher procurement prices. The chemical industry is likely to see a significant jump in exports to the UK — by 30-40 per cent — reaching $650-750 million in 2025-26. Tariff cuts to boost UK-India trade India will also gradually reduce import tariffs on several British products. For instance, duties on whisky will drop from 150 per cent to 40 per cent over ten years. British cars will see import taxes fall from over 100 per cent to 10 per cent, under a quota system. Tariffs on gin, cosmetics, and medical devices will also be reduced. In return, the UK will offer zero-duty access to 99 per cent of Indian exports, including textiles, leather goods, gems, jewellery, marine items, toys, and sports equipment. The agreement will also open up opportunities for Indian companies to bid for public projects in the UK in sectors such as healthcare, transport, and energy. [With agency inputs]

‘One chaiwala to another': UK entrepreneur serves Indian masala chai to PM Narendra Modi, UK PM Keir Starmer in viral video
Akhil Patel, United Kingdom-based founder of Amala Chai, found himself in the middle of an unforgettable moment when he served steaming cups of masala chai to two of the world's most influential leaders, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. When Starmer asked what he had brought, Patel said, 'Masala chai, sourced from India; tea comes from Assam, spices from Kerala.' He also named ingredients like nutmeg and cinnamon, giving the British PM a quick masterclass on Indian tea. Patel's big moment, though, came when he turned to PM Modi and handed him a cup with a smile. 'From one chaiwala to another,' he said, a reference both to his own roots and to Modi's well-known past, selling tea as a young boy at a railway station in Gujarat. In Gujarati, Patel also said that the chai would remind him of home, to which PM Modi responded with a hearty laugh. Modi even echoed one of his signature slogans from past diplomatic meetings, calling it 'Chai Pe Charcha' – a phrase that's now etched in political folklore. The interaction, captured and posted on Instagram by Mihir Pandya, was captioned: 'Honoured to share space with two incredible leaders — PM Narendra Modi and UK PM Keir Starmer. Conversations that inspire. Moments that matter.' A post shared by Mihir Pandya (@me_here1401) Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to his official handle to post photos from his visit to the Amala Chai stall, capturing a candid moment with UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers. ''Chai Pe Charcha' with PM Keir Starmer at Chequers…brewing stronger India-UK ties!' he captioned the post. 'Chai Pe Charcha' with PM Keir Starmer at Chequers…brewing stronger India-UK ties! @Keir_Starmer — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) July 24, 2025 The video went viral on social media and many reacted to it in the comments. A user wrote, 'One chaiwala to another was epic bro ready for the memes.' Another user commented, 'PM is saying taste of India however that kid ruined the moment limiting it to a State.' A third person commented, 'Bro was waiting his whole life to say that dialogue ' from one chaiwala to another.' In a significant move to boost economic ties, India and the UK sealed a landmark free trade agreement on Thursday, coinciding with Prime Minister Modi's visit to London. The pact is set to open new avenues for businesses on both sides, with 99 per cent of Indian goods gaining duty-free access to the UK starting next year. British exports will also benefit, with tariffs on items like cars and whisky being eased, a move expected to make premium UK products more affordable in Indian markets.
