It is not just grand diaspora show at the historic Wembley Stadium in London that will dominate Narendra Modi's UK visit from November 12-14, his maiden trip since becoming the PM. The UK, it appears, has come a long way since the days of 2002 Gujarat riots and one of Modi's key engagements during the trip will be an address to Members of both House of Commons and Lords.
A lunch at Buckingham Palace in London with the Queen of England is indeed special and Modi is expected to have a quiet lunch with the Queen who has seen India's transformation since her reign began in 1952. This luncheon meeting is expected to take place on November 13, day two of Modi's trip, people familiar with the developments indicated.
Modi is expected to begin his engagement in UK with a meeting at 10 Downing Street with his British counterpart David Cameron on November 12 - day one of his visit, sources indicated.
