United Kingdom (UK)'s Prime Minister (PM) Boris Johnson is said to be planning a visit to India towards the end of April in a bid to bolster the bilateral ties shared by the two nations, reports Livemint.
The visit, if materialised, would mark PM Johnson's first major international trip after Britain's exit from the European Union (EU). He was earlier scheduled to visit India in January. However, he had to cancel the trip owing to an upsurge in the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK.
It should be noted that PM Johnson's Government has stated that it would "tilt" its focus towards the Indo-Pacific region as part of its Integrated Review of the Government policy for the coming years, reasoning that the area increasingly represented the geopolitical centre of the world.
Meanwhile, PM Johnson and PM Modi are also set to engage later this year in June, as the former has invited Australia, India and South Korea as guests to attend the G7 summit in Cornwall.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
