Jaishankar to embark on 6-day visit to UK, Ireland to boost trade and bilateral ties
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will undertake a six-day official visit to the United Kingdom and Ireland from March 4 to 9. This trip is significant, as India and the UK have commenced talks on a free trade agreement (FTA), and Jaishankar’s visit is expected to set the tone for future ties.
India and the UK share a comprehensive strategic partnership, which has strengthened across various areas, including defence and security, trade and economy, health, education, and people-to-people ties.
During his visit, Jaishankar will hold discussions with his UK counterpart, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and meet other dignitaries, as well as members of the Indian community.
Jaishankar’s visit to Ireland on March 6-7 aims to strengthen friendly bilateral relations based on shared democratic values, cultural ties, and growing economic engagements. He will meet with his Irish counterpart, Simon Harris, and other dignitaries, as well as members of the Indian community.
