UKIFF's Westminster Diwali Dialogues 2025

Purpose, Progress, and Prosperity in the UK-India Partnership

As Diwali approaches, a festival celebrating bold new ventures, luminous returns, and renewed ambitions, so too comes the call to chart a course of action for a partnership now firmly set in motion and poised to unlock £25.5 billion in bilateral trade. What was once rooted in promise has entered its most decisive phase.

Following Prime Minister Modi’s landmark UK visit and the signing of the UK–India Free Trade Agreement, the Westminster Diwali Dialogues mark a pivotal checkpoint in a relationship moving from negotiation to action, catalysed by the work of IGF’s UK–India Future Forum (UKIFF), a platform shaping collaboration across emerging technologies, healthcare innovation, energy transition, and the future of skills in the corridor.
