After India and UK sorted out their differences over issues related to post-Covid travel, PM Narendra Modi and his UK counterpart Boris Johnson spoke Monday about recent developments in bilateral ties, including the Roadmap 2030 they had announced earlier this year, with focus on trade, defence and climate change related issues.
As they discussed the “shared fight'' against Covid-19 and the importance of cautiously opening up international travel, according to a UK readout of the conversation, the two leaders agreed UK’s recognition of Indian vaccine certification was a welcome development to that end. The recognition means that fully vaccinated Indian travellers will no longer be allowed to undergo a 10-day mandatory quarantine on arrival.
Apart from trade and climate exchange, the two leaders discussed the situation in Afghanistan and agreed on the need to develop a common international perspective on issues regarding extremism and terrorism, as well as human rights and rights of women and minorities.
According to a press release issued by the government of India, they also reviewed the progress of the Enhanced Trade Partnership and agreed on the potential of rapidly expanding trade and investment linkages between both countries.
