British Prime Minister Boris Johnson greeted India on its Republic Day through a video message on Tuesday. In a special reference to the vaccine collaboration, Johnson said the UK and India are working side by side to free humanity from the coronavirus pandemic in his Republic Day message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson was supposed to be in New Delhi as the chief guest to mark India\u2019s 72nd Republic Day. Due to the crisis occurred by the emergence of a new coronavirus variant in the UK, he had to call off his visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiterating his plan to visit India in the coming months, Johnson sent out a message to celebrate the birth of an extraordinary Constitution that established India as the biggest sovereign democracy in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he was looking forward to joining the important occasion at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but the common struggle against Covid-19 has kept him in London. However, Johnson looked forward to visiting India later this year to strengthen friendship, striving for the quantum leap in the relationship with PM Modi which both of them pledged to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his video message, he said the two countries are working side by side to develop, produce and distribute vaccines that will help to free humanity from the pandemic. Thanking the combined efforts of Britain, India and many other countries, he claimed that the world is on road to success against the coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
