The Foreign Office had previously said that the visit will provide the two sides an "important and timely opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review of bilateral relations", discuss new avenues for broadening cooperation, particularly in trade, logistics, regional connectivity, people-to-people contacts, and explore collaboration at regional and international forums.
