Divya Delhi: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer smiled and said, “I think we understand each other well.” Prime Minister Modi compared the India-UK cooperation to cricket after the pleasant exchange. He stated, “There may be a swing and a miss at times but we always play with a straight bat,” adding that both countries want a successful collaboration. After signing the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement and approving India-UK Vision 2035, PM Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer made their remarks in joint press announcements. Cricket is fiercely contested in England as the Indian Test squad visits. It would be rude not to mention cricket when India and the UK meet, especially during a Test series. Cricket is our love and game. Also a terrific metaphor for our collaboration, PM Modi said. “Sometimes you swing and miss. But we always bat straight. We aim for a strong cooperation. The agreements reached today and Vision 2035 are milestones that continue this spirit, he said.
