PM Boris Johnson is coming to India on his two-day visit today

New Delhi. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is coming to India on his two-day visit today. First they will reach Ahmedabad. Johnson will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Friday. The purpose of British PM Johnson’s visit to India is to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries. Both countries want to take their relations further in the field of education and trade. The visit of the British PM to India is taking place at a time when the Russia-Ukraine war is at its peak. However, this issue is unlikely to be discussed in the meeting of Johnson and PM Modi.

Britain will not give advice on Russia
HT has quoted sources as saying that in the talks between PM Modi-Johnson, it is unlikely that Boris Johnson will give any advice to India on Russia as India has already made its stand clear on this matter. The western country is continuously pressurizing India not to buy oil from Russia, but India has made it clear that it wants peace but it does not mean to break its ties with Russia. When it came to voting against Russia in the United Nations last month, India did not participate in it. There is continuous trade going on between Russia and India.

Discussion on production of combined military hardware
The situation in the Indo-Pacific region is prominent among the special issues that will be discussed in the meeting between PM Modi and the British PM. Actually, China has started increasing its influence in the Indo-Pacific region, due to which the world is worried. Britain has already been opposed to the policy of interference in the Indo-Pacific region. According to the report of PTI, British PM Boris Johnson will discuss being a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India campaign. The UK is keen to cooperate with India in the defense sector and jointly produce military hardware.

UK wants to be a major trading partner
During his visit to Gujarat, the Prime Minister of Britain can announce investment in the field of science, health and technology. On Friday, Johnson will meet PM Modi. Apart from partnership in defence, Johnson will also discuss the Free Trade Agreement. Britain wants to grow from India by $36.5 billion by 2035. Britain was India’s third largest trading partner at the beginning of this century, but is currently ranked 17th. The largest trading partners of India are the US, China and the United Arab Emirates.
