The centrepiece of a two-day visit by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to the United Kingdom on March 13 and 14 will be the unveiling of a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square.

Mr. Jaitley — who is visiting the U.K. officially for the first time as Finance Minister — will also have separate meetings with Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne; and address foreign institutional investors for the first time since the Indian budget was announced.

The ceremony to unveil the statue will take place on March 14. The first of an Indian, and the only one in the square of a public figure who has not been in office, the statue has been inspired by the photographs of Gandhi when he visited 10 Downing Street in 1931.

With British Ministers and government officials, and with institutional investors, Mr. Jaitley will discuss the climate for British businesses in India after the February Budget, as well as the Make in India campaign. Further, the Bengaluru-Mumbai Economic Corridor will be discussed.
