Further, an event named ' Bharat ki Baat sabke saath' will be held in to discuss the impact of technology on the world.

Sinha said, "UK's investment in India's was earlier in No. 1 and now is second after Japan. So, we in the true sense are bilaterally related."

"As far as bilateral is concerned Prime Minister of India came in 2015, UK Prime Minister went in 2016 and now this, so high level meets and also at Ministerial level is happening basically to cement the relationship between them," Sinha added.

Considering the political and economic instability to be faced by the United Kingdom with respect to the Brexit event, the bilateral talks between India and the UK will be of immense importance.
