Rishi Sunak is making history in the UK.

He's the first person of colour to be prime minister and the youngest leader in more than 200 years at age 42.

Sunak accepted King Charles III's invitation to lead the UK as prime minister.

Sunak told the media that he's aware of the country's economic problem.

Sunak practises the Hindu religion and his new job as prime minister began on the first day of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights.

This was special for Hindus.

Sunak's now the leader of the Conservative party, but when he was born, in 1980, there were no Black or Asian members of parliament.

This is a sign of hope for many people including the British Indian community.

Sunak is the third prime minister of 2022 after Liz Truss who only lasted 50 days as leader.

Sunak has got a tough job ahead including fixing the country's economic situation.

Sunak's background isn't the important thing for most people.

It's whether he's got the right skills to solve the challenges which the UK faces.
