British PM Boris Johnson’s trip to India

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will arrive in Ahmedabad on Thursday in his maiden two-day visit to India. According to reports, Johnson’s talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on the situation in the Indo-Pacific as the United Kingdom is strongly opposed to any kind of coercion in the region.

Britain PM’s visit to India is also aimed at ramping up the overall ties between the two countries, especially in the areas of defence and security and trade and as reported earlier, he will not lecture India on how to respond to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, people familiar with the development told news agency PTI.

The British prime minister is scheduled to arrive in Ahmedabad on Thursday morning. After a series of engagements in Gujarat throughout the day, he will leave for Delhi in the evening. Johnson and Modi will hold extensive talks in Delhi on Friday.
