The Prince of Wales called on  the President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, at Rashtrapati Bhavan today
(November 13, 2019). 

Welcoming the Prince to India, the President congratulated him on his election as the head of the
Commonwealth. He said that India considers the Commonwealth as an important grouping that voices the
concerns of a large number of countries, including the Small Island Developing States. 

The President said that India and the United Kingdom are natural partners bound by historical ties and shared
values of democracy, rule of law and respect for multi-cultural society. As the world’s pre-eminent democracies,
our two countries have much to contribute together to effectively address the many challenges faced by the
world today. 

The Prince planted a Champa sapling – plant native to the subcontinent which has several uses in Ayurveda – in
the Herbal Garden of Rashtrapati Bhavan. He was taken around the garden and shown different plants that have
medicinal properties.  The Prince showed a keen interest in India’s alternative model of healthcare. 

The President thanked the Prince of Wales for his support for Ayurveda research. The Prince of Wales Charitable
Foundation and the All India Institute of Ayurveda signed an MOU during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi to the UK in April 2018. Under the MOU, the All India Institute of Ayurveda and the College of Medicine, UK
will be conducting clinical research on Depression, Anxiety and Fibromyalgia.    They will also be undertaking
