Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second visit to the U.K. in less than three years is scheduled to take place in April, with a community event in central London planned together with bilateral engagements, and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

PM Narendra Modi is to address unique niche event in London on April 18 titled as Bharat Ki Baat Sabke Saath.

A publicity campaign for the ‘Bharat ki baat, sabke saath’ event on April 18 commenced on Wednesday. “A unique niche event… it will be a one of its kind live interactive conversation,” tweeted the BJP’s Vijay Chauthaiwale.

The event will be held in central London, as against the Wembley Stadium, where PM Modi will address a gathering of around 60,000 people, and will be interacting with around 1,500 to 2,000 people.

The planned format highlights the different tone of the current visit and the audience PM Modi hopes to focus on — while the Wembley event was pitched very much as a “diaspora” event, with community performances. The April event is targeted at a more global audience, matching the aspirations of the visit, which is hooked around the ambitions of taking the Commonwealth to a new level. India’s active engagement is seen as key to the reinforcement of the Commonwealth during the heads of government meeting on April 19 and 20, and the preceding Commonwealth Business Forum.
