NEW DELHI: UK Prime Minister
Rishi Sunak
, who is in Delhi to attend the
G20
Summit, visited the Akshardham temple in the national capital on Sunday morning.
Sunak was accompanied by his
wife Akshata Murthy
during his visit to the Akshardham temple.
On many occasions since becoming the
UK PM
, Sunak has said that he is proud of his Indian roots and will have a connection to India and its people.
Last month, Sunak had said his Hindu faith guides him in every aspect of life and gives him “courage, strength, and resilience” to do the best he can as leader of the country.
“For me, faith is very personal. It guides me in every aspect of my life. Being Prime Minister is a great honour, but it is not an easy job. There are difficult decisions to make, hard choices to confront and our faith gives me courage, strength, and resilience to do the best that I can for our country,” he said while addressing a gathering at a ‘Ram Katha’ being conducted by spiritual leader Morari Bapu.
Sunak arrived in India on Friday afternoon and was received by Union minister Ashwini Choubey, British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis and other senior diplomats.
He also held a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the latter’s official residence here on Saturday evening.
