Modi was among the top world leaders to congratulate Starmer on his election victory yesterday.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is arriving in India tomorrow on a two-day visit at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an official announcement said today.
This will be his maiden visit to India as Prime Minister of the UK. Johnson, who had recently visited war-torn Ukraine, is expected to brief Modi on the situation in the wake of the Russian military aggression.
Johnson will be accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan and will hold bilateral consultations with the Indian PM on 22 April. Besides official engagements in New Delhi, he will visit Gujarat.
India and the UK enjoy a long and historical relationship which was elevated to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership during the India-UK Virtual Summit in 2021.
