NEW DELHI: Stressing that India is the emerging superpower of the 21st century, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on July 24 said both countries have shared interests on topics like green transition, new technologies, economic security, and global security.
During a visit to the global technology company HCLTech’s headquarters in Noida, Lammy met the company’s Chairperson Roshni Nadar Malhotra and visited one of the innovation labs on the campus.
“I am travelling to India in my first month as Foreign Secretary because resetting our relationship with the Global South is a key part of how this Government will reconnect Britain for our security and prosperity at home,” said Lammy, who was accompanied by Lindy Cameron, the British High Commissioner to India, and Harjinder Kang, the British Trade Commissioner for South Asia and Deputy High Commissioner for Western India.
Lammy said that India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. “Our Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations are the floor, not the ceiling, of our ambitions to unlock our shared potential and deliver growth — from Bengaluru to Birmingham. We have shared interests on the green transition, new technologies, economic security and global security,” he mentioned.
