British Prime Minister David Cameron is set to meet Indian Prime Minister Modi this weekend at Brisbane in Australia
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister is set to have his first meeting with Prime Minister Modi of India at this weekend’s G20 summit in Brisbane.
“The Prime Minister was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Prime Minister Modi following his election victory in May, and is keen to seize this opportunity for a face-to-face meeting to discuss the wide range of bilateral issues that underpin the strong relationship between our two countries.
“The two leaders are expected to discuss PM Modi’s vision for reform in India with his ambitious plan to develop the country; trade and bilateral relations between the UK and India, which is generating more jobs, more growth and more security for our two nations; and key international issues.
“This weekend’s meeting in Brisbane is set to strengthen the broad and deep relationship that Britain and India already enjoy, building on a partnership of equals based on mutual respect. It follows visits by the Deputy Prime Minister, Chancellor, Foreign Secretary, Defence and Business Secretaries to India since Mr Modi was elected, and the recent visit by Sushma Swaraj, the Indian Minister for External Affairs, to attend the first ever regional Pravasi Bharatiya Divas event in London.”
