Boris hair is so cool, it goes whichever direction wind goes 😂

Welcome to India Mr prime minister Boris Johnson 😀

India needs to utilize its leverage to advance ITS interests. So far, it appears Modi is quite capable of doing so. Trump certainly seemed to express constant, respectful, frustration of India's trade negotiations. Boris won't fare any better. India appears to be on the rise.

Finally, a politician that actually understand that Europe-centric is not the right thing to do. If The European Union’s “wokeness” it’s going to be their downfall, and Boris could see that. A European nation joining forces with the Indo-Pacific countries it’s going to be great, specially if they also help protect that area from China.

Johnson reminds me to Grown up version of Ron weasley from Harry Potter🤣

UK knows it cannot survive on its needs India. I love Boris's hair - gives him that casual character that he is. Boris is good for UK and India.

[anamikaabaddha]

I trust Modi would focus on India's interest. Other countries are converging for their own interest, not with an interest to lift or help India rather they are trying to use India.

As a Brit, I'm very happy to think we will tighten our relations with India, which is a wonderful country full of great people. Plus yes, the world does need to join together with regards to the CCP.

Wonderful to see democracies in east and west coming together and aligning to save all that is good and decent in the world from the threat of totalitarian communism.

Boris better should not hold his speech in afternoon in Pune if he really want to capture the attention of Punekar - honest suggestion from rare humble punekar.
