Earlier in the day, Rishi Sunak, accompanied by his wife Akshata Murty, visited the Akshardham Temple in Delhi and offered prayers. During his first official visit to India, Rishi Sunak expressed immense pride in his Indian heritage and his connection to the country. He also identified himself as a "proud Hindu."

Following the temple visit, Mr. Sunak proceeded to Rajghat to join other delegates in paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

During his visit for the G20 summit, Rishi Sunak reviewed the progress of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with PM Modi and expressed optimism that remaining issues could be resolved promptly, paving the way for a balanced, mutually beneficial, and forward-looking FTA to be signed in the near future.

PM Modi extended an invitation to PM Sunak for a bilateral visit at an early and mutually convenient date to engage in more in-depth discussions. Prime Minister Sunak accepted the invitation and congratulated PM Modi on the successful G20 Summit.
