“Don’t think things have ever been so strong or good between us as they are now,” Johnson told Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. He also thanked Prime Minister Modi for a “fantastic” welcome and said his India visit was an auspicious moment in his friendship with India. He also thanked the people of Gujarat for putting up a grand welcome at Ahmedabad. “I have never seen such a joyful reception. I wouldn’t get that necessarily anywhere in the world,” Johnson further said.
