UK, India Have 'Thick Agenda', Sunak Will Take Ties Forward With Modi: British Envoy Ellis

ABP News  

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be on his maiden visit to India next month during the G20 Summit in the present capacity and he will be holding a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as both sides aim to take forward a “thick agenda” strengthening trade to defence partnerships, according to Alex Ellis, High Commissioner of the UK to India. He also said, “There’s a thick agenda between the two countries and I think that’s going to have to grow fast because of the sharpening of the geopolitical competition whether it is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or whether it is the Chinese behaviour in the last few years.” According to Ellis, both leaders will discuss moving forward in their defence cooperation and also an early conclusion of the free trade agreement, the talks for which resumed in April 2022 after initial hiccups post Brexit. India rightly focussed on the big, global issues which the world faces at the moment.” But, he pointed out, that it’s a matter of “enormous frustration” not only for the Indian Presidency but for the UK as well that Russia's “illegal invasion is both distracting attention from all those issues inevitably but also making them worse.” Russia’s blocking of the ‘Black Sea Grain Initiative’ is giving rise to inflation both in India as well as in the UK and also around the world, he highlighted. China A ‘New Challenge’ For UK And India: Ellis Ellis also stressed on the fact that China is a “challenge” even for the UK.
