India and the UK are set to hold their twice-postponed summit this week with the two governments announcing the decision on Sunday. The virtual meeting between prime minister Narendra Modi and his UK counterpart Boris Johnson could take place on Tuesday. In March, UK announced that Johnson would come to India on 26 April. But that visit, too, was called off last month due to the surge in covid-19 cases in India. As the host of the G-7 meet, Johnson has invited the leaders of India, Australia and South Korea to the meet in the Cornwall region in June.
