UK PM Boris to cut short his India visit

London: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reduced the length of his visit to New Delhi at the end of this month due to the Covid-19 situation in India, Downing Street said on Wednesday. Mr Johnson was to spend a few days in India starting April 26 as part of a planned itinerary, which is expected to include finalising a UKIndia Enhanced Trade Partnership. However, with the pandemic crisis in India taking a turn for the worse, the itinerary has had to be reworked and the major part of the high-level bilateral interactions, including bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, are now scheduled to be limited to New Delhi on April 26.
