HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier-led Carrier Strike Group’s major port stop in Mumbai is the U.K.’s Indo-Pacific tilt in action, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in India on Saturday.
The Minister, who arrived in Mumbai from New Delhi, said that her visit is aimed at forging stronger security and defence links with India, the world’s largest democracy, as a key part of the U.K’s Indo-Pacific strategy.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said that the minister sees India as "essential" in ensuring a free, open, inclusive and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
