In October 2021, the UK's Carrier Strike Group (CSG) visited India and held India-UK tri-service exercise Exercise Konkan Shakti.
The
UK Carrier Strike Group
will do a port call in Mumbai in October as well.
In November last, both sides firmed up a statement of intent (SoI) indicating resolve to strengthen cooperation in electric propulsion.
The two sides are also looking at the possibile cooperation in production of jet engines.
In their talks, Modi and Starmer also deliberated on the overall situation in the Indo-Pacific.
"We have continued to share our perspectives on peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the situation in West Asia," Modi said.
"We support early restoration of peace and stability. Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries is essential. Today's era demands development, not expansionism," he said.
The two leaders expressed satisfaction at the growing collaboration in new and emerging technologies and called for accelerated implementation of the
Technology and Security Initiative
(TSI).
The TSI, firmed up last year, focuses on telecom, critical minerals, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and health technology, semiconductors, advanced materials and quantum.
