Besides a possible announcement for the purchase of 20 more Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer aircraft for the Indian Air Force, Mr. Modi’s visit will see high-level consultations on British investments in the defence sector under the Make in India programme, and stepping up of bilateral coordination over terrorism-related issues. Officials said the two sides had already been exchanging notes on terrorism, especially the growing Islamic State footprints in South Asia and recruitment of South Asian youths from the U.K. for the terrorist organisation.
