London: Britain’s Prince Charles will visit India on November 13 and 14 to celebrate India-UK relations during which he will also discuss issues like climate change and sustainable finance, his office announced on Monday.
Charles, 70, will arrive in New Delhi for the two-day visit on Wednesday Nov. 13.
It will be Charles’ 10th official visit to India. His last was as part of a joint tour with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to Brunei, India, Singapore and Malaysia in November 2017.
More details about the visit, made at the request of the Foreign Office based on the government’s priorities, will be announced in due course, his Clarence House office added. Britain has been keen to secure a trade deal with India after it leaves the European Union.
The announcement also comes a week after Charles’s son William and his wife Kate completed a four-day trip to India’s neighbour Pakistan.
“His Royal Highness will carry out engagements in New Delhi with a focus on sustainable markets, climate change and social finance,” the statement said. Charles, the longest-serving heir apparent in British history, will celebrate his 71st birthday in India on November 14
