We were near Tower Bridge in London. There was a crowd of Modi supporters in front. Then Modi held my hand and raised it. He said something in Hindi. Although I could not understand it, I felt a unique energy. He has been my friend ever since.
Boris Johnson came to India in 2022, where he spun a charkha at the Sabarmati Ashram.
Wanted to explain relations with Russia Johnson credited himself with initiating a free trade agreement between the two countries. Johnson visited India in January 2022. He said the visit was very successful and boosted his morale. Johnson said that during the visit he also wants to discuss the dispute between Ukraine and Russia with PM Modi.
A month after Johnson's visit to India, Russia attacked Ukraine. Johnson wrote that he understood India's policy of non-alignment. Russia has decades-old relations with India. India is dependent on Russia for hydrocarbons, but I think it is time for a change.
Russian missiles are proving less effective. In such a scenario, would India want to depend on Russia for its military weapons? He wrote that the British Ministry of Defense has always been concerned about the growing proximity to Russia. But I overcame these problems. I have agreements with India to work together to increase military assistance.
Nehru said that India will always support Russia Johnson also praises former Queen Elizabeth of Britain in the book and writes stories related to her. He wrote that Jawaharlal Nehru told Elizabeth that India would always support Russia. Some things will never change.

Wheeler's mother was born in India. Johnson also included British Indians in his cabinet when he was PM. He made Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel part of his cabinet. Later Rishi also became the Prime Minister of Britain.
The removal from the post of PM was considered a mistake The removal of Jones from the post of PM was considered a mistake. This was worse than a crime, let alone for the country, but this was a mistake both for Rishi Sunak and the party, he wrote. Referring to the recent defeat of the party, he wrote that this proved to be true.
