UK PM Boris Johnson to attend Republic Day ceremony

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be attending the Republic Day ceremony in January. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab confirmed the development saying Boris Johnson has accepted India’s invitation.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said, “I’m pleased that PM Boris Johnson has invited PM Modi to join the UK-hosted G7 summit next year.

UK PM Johnson has also accepted the very generous invitation to attend India’s Republic Day celebrations in January, which is a great honour.”

The UK foreign secretary made the announcement on Tuesday during a 3-day visit to India, which is also being seen as a means to lay the ground for Boris Johnson’s upcoming visit in January.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday held talks with the British Foreign Secretary to expand cooperation in a range of sectors such as trade, defence, education, environment and health.

Raab’s three-day visit to India from December 14-17 comes at a time the UK is holding complex negotiations with the European Union on reaching a post-Brexit trade deal.

On December 14, the Ministry of External Affairs said Raab’s visit will pave the way for further strengthening of the partnership across the trade, defence, climate, migration and mobility, education and health sectors in the post-Covid, post-Brexit context.
