johnson: Jobs to defence, India trip will deliver on key areas: Boris Johnson – Times of India
NEW DELHI: UK PM Boris Johnson has said that his upcoming India visit will “deliver on the things that really matter to the people of both our nations — from job creation and economic growth, to energy security and defence”.
Johnson, who visited Kyiv last week, was banned by Moscow on Saturday for UK’s campaign to isolate Russia. He is expected to brief Modi about his visit to Kyiv and seek support from India in bringing to a halt Russia’s military action in Ukraine. The two countries will discuss ways to strengthen security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific.
The UK said in a statement that Johnson’s meeting with Modi will focus on boosting economic, defence, security and technology cooperation. “He (Johnson) will use the visit to drive progress in the Free Trade Agreement negotiations launched earlier this year – a deal with India is predicted to boost our total trade by up to £28 billion annually by 2035 and increase wages across the UK by up to £3 billion,” said the statement. The UK is said to be leveraging post-Brexit trade opportunities with India’s growing economy to “drive down prices in key commodities for consumers, open opportunities for UK businesses in areas like green tech and services, and create high-wage, high-skill jobs”.
