From whipping out a comb to tame his unruly mane, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson transitioned to an in-depth discussion on messy geopolitics at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum. He praised India effusively, expressed deep dissatisfaction over the US failing to consult the UK on the Iran war and insisted that Vladimir Putin was fated to lose the war in Ukraine. Johnson said India is going through a very good period under very strong and stable leadership. "The Indian story today is a really wonderful story," he said, predicting an "incredible future" for India because it is a democracy and a free country.
He also hailed the India-UK free-trade agreement, negotiations for which began when he was the PM.
