India cancels British visit amid growing disagreement between London and New Delhi

The British delegation will not come to India for a visit. It was canceled at the last moment by the host.

This decision was made against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine and the general deterioration of relations between India and the UK. It is reported by RIA Novosti, referring to The Guardian.

A visit by a cross-party delegation led by Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsey Hoyle to India was canceled at the last minute amid growing disagreements with India.

India fears that the British will remember their colonial past and try to put pressure on its government. London does not like the position taken by New Delhi on the Ukrainian issue.

The Indian side supports Russia and has not refused to cooperate with our country. In addition, she did not join the sanctions that the United States and the European Union imposed on the Russian Federation after the start of a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine.
