Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says that India-UK relations will continue to grow under the leadership of his new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. According to Johnson, today both countries need each other in extremely dangerous and uncertain times. He also said that there should be no free trade agreement between the two, for this there is no need to wait till next Diwali.

According to Johnson, the mutual trade between the two countries has increased by 28 percent, while the free trade agreement is still pending. This too should be done eventually. Johnson said that 'the car has been punctured in this matter since I left office, while I and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi wanted to make this agreement before Diwali. Now there is no need to wait till next Diwali, I don't know why I have put it on hold?'

Johnson said the UK has the largest number of foreign students in India, with 1.08 Indian students strengthening his country's education industry. The UK government has more Indian-origin ministers than any other country.

Russia weakened by the war, but China became stronger: He said, Putin will be defeated in Ukraine, he deserves it. This will badly affect arms exports from Russia, it will become a weak country. But it will result in strengthening of China.
