Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met King Charles III at Sandringham House in the United Kingdom on Thursday, shortly after the signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement. The meeting reflected the ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.
In a post on X, the British royal family confirmed that King Charles received Prime Minister Modi at Sandringham House on Thursday afternoon. During the meeting, PM Modi presented the King with a tree sapling to be planted later this year.
The gesture was part of the Indian Prime Minister’s environmental campaign, “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”, which encourages individuals to plant a tree in honour of their mothers. The initiative was recently launched as a national movement focused on environmental sustainability.
“This afternoon, The King received the Prime Minister of the Republic of India, Narendra Modi, at Sandringham House. During their time together, His Majesty was given a tree to be planted this Autumn, inspired by the environmental initiative launched by the Prime Minister, “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”, which encourages people to plant a tree in tribute to their mothers,” the royal family said in the post.
