Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK comes at a time when India-UK bilateral relations are on a positive trajectory and potentially at the threshold of a new era, India’s High Commissioner to the UK Gaitri Issar Kumar has said.
Modi will attend the World Leaders’ Summit (WLS) of the UN COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, with bilateral talks planned with his British counterpart Boris Johnson on the sidelines of the summit, scheduled over Monday and Tuesday.
India’s envoy in Britain noted that in preparation for the bilateral engagement, discussions have progressed on a full range of issues from consular relations to maritime security and space as well as cooperation at the UN and other multilateral fora.
The India-UK partnership is on a very positive trajectory, potentially at the threshold of a new era, Kumar told PTI in an interview on the eve of the Modi’s UK visit.
It is comprehensive, a strategic partnership, covering an ever-expanding range of areas of human activity; underpinned, as it should be, by an efficient institutional framework.
Our leaders have a shared vision of how best both nations can realise the full potential of our many complementary strengths bilaterally and on global issues, she said.
The High Commissioner confirmed that the 2030 Roadmap agreed between Prime Minister Modi and his British counterpart Johnson in May remains on track with its aim to more than double bilateral trade by 2030, following a series of trade delegation exchanges between the two countries.
