Investment, Defence Cooperation To Top Modi's British Agenda

"This will be both at 10, Downing Street, and the Chequers (the country house retreat of the British prime minister)," Jaishankar said.

Modi will also address the British Parliament, which according to the foreign secretary, will be the first by an Indian prime minister. He will be hosted for lunch by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, a signal honour.

"I will address the City of London at an event at The Old Library, Guildhall. There will also be a visit to the Jaguar Land Rover factory at Solihull," Modi wrote on Facebook.

At 1.5 million, India has one its largest and most visible diasporas in Britain. In his by now trademark public interactions with the Indian diaspora, Modi will address around 70,000 people of Indian origin at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London.

But the visit no doubt will be shadowed by the defeat of the Modi-led NDA alliance in state elections in Bihar, India's second most populous and one of the politically most conscious states, in which Modi personally invested a lot of political capital.

The prime minister's itinerary also includes paying homage to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi near the British Parliament, visiting the house where the father of India's constitution, Babasaheb Ambedkar, lived in while studying at the London School of Economics in 1921-22, and unveiling a bust of 12th century scholar, philosopher and statesman Basaveshwara on a bank of the Thames river.

Following the conclusion of his visit to Britain, Modi will leave for Antalya in Turkey on November 14 to attend the G-20 summit.

"This summit is being held at a critical juncture, just after the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals agenda at the United Nations, and just before discussions on climate change at COP (Conference of Parties)-21 in Paris on November 30-December 1," Modi stated.

"During the summit, we will review the progress on decisions taken at the Brisbane Summit and take up issues of climate change, terrorism, refugees, weak growth in global economy, strategies for growth and employment, investment strategies, trade, energy and financial sector resilience."

Arvind Panagariya, vice chairman of the NITI Aayog and India's sherpa for the G-20 summit, told the media that India would also take up the issues of reducing transaction costs of remittances, black money, and countering terrorism.

The prime minister will return to India on November 16.
