He is on a two-day visit to the UK and is seeking to strengthen defence, trade and technology ties. The formalisation of a long-awaited free trade agreement (FTA) is expected to dominate the agenda. The agreement, hailed as a landmark development, is likely to provide a major boost to economic ties between the two nations. Modi's arrival comes amid efforts by both governments to re-energise their strategic partnership, with hopes high that the deal will cement closer cooperation across multiple sectors. On Thursday, Modi is set to hold talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that are expected to focus on delivering fresh momentum to bilateral relations. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Starmer will host Modi at Chequers, the British prime minister's official country residence located about 50 km northwest of London. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds are expected to sign the FTA in the presence of both leaders, according to people familiar with the matter. India and the UK reached an agreement on the FTA in May after nearly three years of negotiations. The deal will eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports and make it easier for British firms to sell products such as whisky and cars in the Indian market, while expanding the overall trade basket. The deal is expected to offer full market access for Indian goods across all sectors. Officials said tariff elimination would apply to around 99% of tariff lines, covering nearly the entire trade value between the two countries.

'Processed Food Is Not Bad': Union Minister Chirag Paswan
New Delhi: Union Food Processing Minister Chirag Paswan on Wednesday stressed the need to correct the false narrative that processed food is bad for health. The Food Processing Industries Ministry has set up a committee in this regard, he added. Addressing a press conference to announce the World Food India event, Mr Paswan said that the level of food processing is still low in the country and there is a huge scope for growth in this sector. He said this sector can boost farmers' income and also provide huge job opportunities to youth. Mr Paswan spoke about "misleading advertisements" that brand processed food as "bad". False narratives are being set that processed food loses nutritional value, he added. Mr Paswan said there is a growing demand for ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook foods because of nuclear families and working couples. Food regulator FSSAI ensures the safety of food products, he added. Mr Paswan announced his ministry will hold the flagship conference 'World Food India 2025' in the national capital during September 25-28 to showcase investment potential in this sector and realise the vision of making the country a global food hub. This will be the fourth edition of World Food India. The event will be held on September 25-28 at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital. Industry body FICCI is the national event partner. He also launched a dedicated website and a mobile app for this upcoming event. The event will see participation from many countries. Food Processing Secretary Avinash Joshi said, "Our sector has demonstrated remarkable growth over last decade, now it contributes almost 1/5 of agri product export in the country. Yet we recognise that substantial untapped potential remains." He said the World Food India platform would help in realising this potential. Mr Joshi noted that the earlier editions were successful, and now the ministry intends to scale it further. He said the event will bring together a diverse array of participants, food processors, equipment manufacturers, packaging solution providers, logistic firms, technology developers, academia, startups, retail innovators, state and central government bodies and international delegates. He said one of the major highlights would be the CEOs' round table. More than 100 CEOs from India and overseas will engage directly with policymakers. The theme of World Food India will be based on five pillars -- Sustainability and net zero food processing; India as a Global Food Processing Hub; Frontiers in Food Processing, Products and Packaging Technologies; Food for Nutrition, Health, and Wellness; and Livestock & Marine Products - accelerating the Indian rural economy.

UP gears up for tourism overhaul: Services, jobs, heritage in focus
LUCKNOW The UP tourism department on Wednesday announced a series of public-focused reforms aimed at boosting tourism, creating local employment and preserving cultural heritage, during a high-level departmental review meeting held at Paryatan Bhawan here. Now, tourist places would be better maintained and have more local homestay options with enriched cultural experiences. (Pic for representation) At the heart of the new directives is the urgent push to fill long-pending vacancies across the tourism and culture department, especially at the district level, which has impacted service delivery to citizens and tourists alike. Officials were instructed to fill pending vacancies immediately — through outsourcing if necessary — to ensure smoother operations in local tourism offices. 'Citizens of UP will soon feel a shift towards a more accessible, community-centred and accountable tourism ecosystem. As the state readies to revise its policies and rejuvenate its institutions, public benefit remains the central theme — from more jobs and better services to a stronger connection with UP's diverse cultural identity,' said minister of tourism and culture Jaiveer Singh during the meeting. He emphasized that the state's 2022 tourism policy will be reframed, drawing best practices from other Indian states, to reflect current needs and public expectations. Now, tourist places would be better maintained and have more local homestay options with enriched cultural experiences. Officials were warned against delays or negligence in implementing public projects. Local jobs, local culture Recognising the untapped potential of rural and tribal regions, officials agreed that homestays be introduced in villages showcasing the unique Tharu tribe culture. This initiative aims to provide employment and income for rural families, while giving tourists an authentic cultural experience. The officials stressed over the importance of developing eco-tourism, calling for a long-term plan to create sustainable destinations that support local ecosystems and economies. The Ganga Gram initiative, which focuses on villages along the sacred river, will be fast-tracked, with all relevant data to be submitted to headquarters promptly. Bringing the world to UP On the international front, officials proposed a strategic outreach campaign to attract foreign tourists, especially from Buddhist countries. The ministry will seek coordination with Indian embassies abroad and request support from the ministry of external affairs to organize roadshows and cultural exchange programmes, building UP's image as a spiritual and cultural hub. Protecting heritage, reviving assets To strengthen historical awareness and educational tourism, officials agreed for installation of informative plaques at heritage sites and historical documentation of each location. The progress on various infrastructure projects was also reviewed, including guest houses and tourism units and emphasized turning loss-making properties into viable assets through public-private partnerships (PPP), where necessary. Illegal encroachments on departmental lands will be removed in coordination with local administrations, and those spaces will be utilized for public-benefit projects, they added. Culture dept under scanner The culture department came under close scrutiny, as the minister expressed dissatisfaction over slow implementation of previous directives. He reviewed recruitment processes, procurement of statues and performance of cultural academies and institutions. The minister reiterated the government's commitment to preserving and promoting the state's rich artistic legacy while ensuring better governance and transparency. Two new MoUs were also signed during the meeting, indicating ongoing collaborations and future partnerships. The meeting was attended by principal secretary Mukesh Kumar Meshram, special secretary Isha Priya (tourism), special secretary Sanjay Kumar Singh (culture), among others.
