UK PM Boris Johnson India Visit Live Updates: Britain’s PM Boris Johnson has said – This is a great moment for India-UK friendship and for two democracies (one of the largest and oldest). I don’t think things have ever been as strong between India and the UK as they are now.”
On Friday, Johnson said the world was facing growing threats from autocratic countries that seek to undermine democracy, end free trade and trample on sovereignty, and Britain’s partnership with India was a “light in the storm”.
Ahead of talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Johnson said the partnership between India and the UK on issues ranging from climate change to energy security and defence is important as both countries look to the future.
The British High Commission said Johnson is expected to discuss with Prime Minister Modi the next generation of defense and security partnerships in five areas – land, sea, air, space and cyber – as the two countries face new complex threats.
