External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Labour Party leader Keir Starmer on Wednesday, during his visit to London, and expressed optimism that the India-U.K. relationship would be furthered by Labour should the party be in power after the U.K.’s next general election. With the country going to polls within about a year, Mr. Starmer is the frontrunner to be the U.K.’s next Prime Minister, as per polling data.
The Labour Party positions are “very much in support of the further growth of our ties”, Mr. Jaishankar told The Hindu at a press briefing at the end of his visit on Wednesday.
