“It’s fantastic to be in India, the world’s largest democracy. I see vast possibilities for what our great nations can achieve together. Our powerhouse partnership is delivering jobs, growth and opportunity. I look forward to strengthening this partnership in the coming days,” PM Johnson tweeted after arriving in Ahmedabad.

On the first day of his tour, Johnson met Adani Group Chairman, Gautam Adani at the Adani headquarters at Shantigram on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.

“Honoured to host @BorisJohnson, the first UK PM to visit Gujarat, at Adani HQ. Delighted to support climate & sustainability agenda with focus on renewables, green H2 & new energy. Will also work with UK companies to co-create defence & aerospace technologies,” Adani wrote in his Twitter.

After the meeting, Johnson visited the Sabarmati Ashram, the place from where Gandhi led India’s freedom struggle from the British colonial rule.
