British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday met billionaire businessman Gautam Adani at Adani global headquarters. Johnson is on a two-day official India visit to India. The British PM landed at the Ahmedabad airport earlier today, where he was accorded a grand welcome.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani informed about the meeting in a tweet. "Honoured to host @BorisJohnson, the first UK PM to visit Gujarat, at Adani HQ.

This is the first time a UK Prime Minister is in Gujarat, India's fifth-largest state and the ancestral home of around half of the British-Indian population in the UK.
