UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has headed to India touting job-creating investment but facing long odds to get his reluctant counterpart Narendra Modi to back Western action against Russia.
The visit to New Delhi and Modi's home state of Gujarat gives Johnson some respite from a "partygate" controversy over his criminal violation of pandemic lockdown rules.
He will miss a parliamentary vote on Thursday into whether he deliberately misled the House of Commons in previously denying any Downing Street rule-breaking — normally a resigning matter.
The India trip has been twice postponed because of Covid flare-ups in each country and was briefly in doubt again this week when the vote was announced, with opposition leaders insisting Johnson stand down.
But UK sources said it was seen as too important to put off again. Downing Street said it would seal two-way investment deals worth more than £1 billion ($1.3 billion), creating almost 11,000 jobs in Britain.
