British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to India this week, a long-delayed trip that will seek to shore up trade with the world’s seventh-biggest economy and bolster defense cooperation.
Johnson will begin the trip on April 21 in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, the capital of Gujarat state, and then meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the capital New Delhi the following day.
Johnson’s trip comes just weeks after Foreign Secretary Liz Truss visited the country in a bid to convince the Modi government to do more to isolate Russia economically after its invasion of Ukraine and join countries in reducing their strategic dependence on Moscow.
