Dur­ing an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, Padarath said in­tense prepa­ra­tions were on­go­ing for the high-pro­file vis­it, which will in­clude dis­cus­sions that can boost de­vel­op­ment be­tween both coun­tries.

"We can ex­pect to hear more in the ar­eas of ICT and tech­nol­o­gy, the area of med­i­cine as it re­lates to phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals, in par­tic­u­lar, dial­y­sis and can­cer treat­ments. We can ex­pect to hear more about trade and agri­cul­ture. There is al­so some tech­ni­cal sup­port in terms of digi­ti­sa­tion."
