    Extradition of Vijay Mallya, a key issue
  • The British Foreign Secretary's visit to India comes only two months after British PM Theresa May chose India as her first "port of call" outside the European Union after assuming office.

    Several issues like visas, trade relations, Brexit are expected to be discussed.

    Pending extradition of Vijay Mallya, who is currently in London and wanted by the Enforcement Directorate, is also an important issue.

  • Migration

    Mobility issues are of importance to us: Indian official
  • India raised concerns related to visa and migration with the United Kingdom.

    In the last five years, the number of Indians studying in the UK dropped to 20,000 from 40,000 due to changes in post-study work visa rules.

    An Indian official said mobility issues are of importance and they "cannot separate free movement of people from the free flow of goods, services, and investments."

    India is important for UK: Migration Expert

  • Migration expert and long-time consultant for the Indian Government on mobility issues, S Irudayarajan, said: "India is an important country for the UK. And curbing the flow of good minds, whether they are students or skilled workers, is not good for the UK."

  • Johnson is expected to brief India on the UK's plan to exit the European Union, seek new trade partnerships, and conclude free trade deals for goods and services.

    However, experts feel striking free trade deals with India, while not allowing free movement of people, wouldn't be easy.

    Indian officials said any talks on the "Free Trade Area" would begin only after UK leaves EU.
