00:00As India's economic and financial capital, because India's growth story is remarkable.

00:08I want to congratulate the Prime Minister on his leadership, aiming to be the world's third largest economy by 2028.

00:17It is an important statement, as we stand here, about our shared commitment to this special relationship,

00:26because we are building something here. We're creating a new, modern partnership focused on the future

00:35and on winning the opportunities that it offers, and we're doing it together.

00:41And that's why we struck the UK-India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement in July,

00:48a breakthrough moment, years in the making, slashing tariffs, increasing access to each other's markets,

00:56to drive growth and create jobs for our people, and making life better in both of our nations.

01:03And beyond the words on the page of the agreement is the spirit and the confidence that that has given

01:09to our two great countries to work even more closely together,

01:13something which we've seen evidence during the course of this visit here over the last two days.

01:19It is significant that we're meeting here in Mumbai, as India's economic and financial capital,

01:27because India's growth story is remarkable.

01:31I want to congratulate the Prime Minister on his leadership, aiming to be the world's third largest economy by 2028.

01:41And your vision of Vicar Barot is to completely develop a country by 2047.

01:51And everything I've seen since I've been here is absolute proof to me that you're on track to succeed in that.

01:59So we want to be partners on that journey.

02:02And my visit this week is about doubling down on the potential of our trade deal for the benefit of all of us.

02:11And that's why I brought a record 126 British businesses with me to India this week.

02:17We had to get a bigger plane to travel over here than the one we planned.

02:22But that delegation is some of our biggest, most iconic businesses and smaller and medium-sized businesses,

02:29but also leaders from education, some of whom are with us here, and sport and the arts.

02:37As I say, our largest trade delegation for a decade.

02:42And so my first as Prime Minister.

02:45So, of course, the destination for that had to be here, had to be India.

02:50Later today, the Prime Minister and I will convene a renewed CEO forum.

02:57And that was much discussed yesterday as a direct channel for business.

03:03There was a real buzz in the room yesterday that this forum is going to have real life breathed into it

03:10to embody the agreement that we've already reached,

03:14to ensure that the deal does deliver the opportunities that we want to see.

03:18And we are committed to that.

03:20And when we leave India later on tonight...
