Modi's UK Visit: Trade Deal Focus & Key Meetings
Prime Minister Modi went to the UK to talk about important things like trade and technology.
He met with the UK's leader and the King.
A big part of the visit is to hopefully make a deal that will make it easier for India and the UK to trade goods.
This means it could be cheaper to buy some things, and it will also help businesses in both countries.
Afterward, he will head to the Maldives at the invitation of the president there.
