The Conservative Party leader is the first British prime minister of Indian descent.
Rishi Sunak’s visit to India for the G20 summit marks a “historic moment” between the UK and the Commonwealth nation, according to No 10.
With former Tory prime minister Boris Johnson originally targeting an October 2022 completion deadline, there has been speculation that one of the hold-ups to a trade pact is India’s push for more visas to be granted for its people to work in Britain. “I can’t get into more detail about what has been discussed but there are no plans to change our immigration policy to achieve an FTA.”
Mr Sunak’s official spokesman said there was “no set moment” for the British leader and Mr Lavrov to meet.
