London: The Prime Minister Boris Johnson will visit India this week to deepen our long-term partnership for peace and prosperity with a fellow leading democracy.
This visit was postponed by Boris on several times in past due to Covid-19 pandemic, which is aimed to strengthening global economic challenges and threats from autocratic states.
According to the information, Britain PM will begin his tour from Ahmedabad on Thursday to meet with leading businesses and discuss the UK and India’s thriving commercial, trade and people links. This will be the first time a UK Prime Minister has visited Gujarat, India’s fifth largest state and the ancestral home of around half of the British-Indian population in the UK.
He will then travel to New Delhi to meet Prime Minister Modi on Friday. The leaders will hold in-depth talks on the UK and India’s strategic defence, diplomatic and economic partnership, aimed at bolstering our close partnership and stepping up security co-operation in the Indo-Pacific.
Meanwhile, a deal with India is predicted to boost UK’s total trade by up to £28 billion annually by 2035 and increase incomes across the UK by up to £3 billion.
