He highlighted the significant progress in the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in recent years and noted that the collaboration between the two countries spans a wide range of sectors, including trade, investment, technology, innovation, defence, education, research, sustainability, health and people-to-people ties. During his visit, Modi will also have an audience with King Charles III at one of his royal estates. 'It's a very significant visit because a historical agreement is being done between India and the UK,' said Kuldeep Shekhawat, President of the Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) diaspora group. 'It's a great achievement for both governments, and especially for the Indian diaspora, which is excited to see the Prime Minister here after so many years.
