His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales will arrive on Wednesday
13th November on a two-day visit to India.
His tenth official visit will celebrate enduring British-Indian
ties, with a focus on shared global challenges such as
sustainability and climate change.
His Royal Highness will undertake varied engagements in the
national capital, including a bilateral meeting with the
President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind. He will present a
Commonwealth ‘Points of Light’ award to an Indian for her
exemplary contribution to the field of social development that
involves upliftment of disabled children, family counselling and
therapy sessions.
Building on the collective work between the United Kingdom and
India as a joint force for good, His Royal Highness will
participate in a discussion on how to strengthen disaster
resilience and tackle the effects of climate change at the Indian
Meteorological Department.
He will visit a Sikh temple to celebrate the 550th birth
anniversary of Guru Nanak and mark the contribution of the Sikh
community in the UK. He will then attend a military service to
commemorate the sacrifices of soldiers from India, the UK and
across the Commonwealth in World War One and World War Two.
He will also attend a discussion with influential Indian business
leaders to seek their advice and input on sustainable markets.
British High Commissioner to India, Sir Dominic Asquith, said:
I am delighted to welcome His Royal Highness The Prince of
Wales to India once again on his tenth official visit. His many
visits to India and his enduring interest in promoting our
common interests is another example of the living bridge
between the United Kingdom and India.
His Royal Highness will witness how India makes use of
innovation to respond to natural disasters and how its clean
technology is helping deal with the challenges of climate
change. He will celebrate our strong cultural links and
experience the warm hospitality that diverse religious
communities in India have to offer.
The visit will honour the past, celebrate the present and look
forward to a joint future driven by an innovative and
responsible focus on shared challenges.
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales last visited India as part
of a joint official tour with The Duchess of Cornwall to Brunei,
India, Singapore & Malaysia in November 2017.
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales jointly launched a
Sustainable Markets Council with the World Economic Forum in
September to ensure sustainability for future generations.
