The UK and India: Trusted partners ready for the next phase of growth

I have just returned from accompanying Sir Kier Starmer to India for the first prime minister delegation to India in 9 years.

I have had the privilege of accompanying every prime minister on their visit to India, starting with Tony Blair in 2005, followed by Gordon Brown, David Cameron and the last was Theresa May in November 2016.

The UK and India signed a free trade agreement after three and a half years of negotiations in July, in Chequers. I was privileged to be present.

Prime Minister Kier Starmer has lead one of the largest prime ministerial business delegations of 125 business leaders from all sectors, including manufacturing and services, business organisations such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) UK, which I Chair, the Confederation of British Industry, which I was president of, and several university leaders, ministers and the press.

The visit has made a huge impact and clearly sent the message that the UK means business with regards to India, it faced the most spectacular welcome I have seen, with thousands of posters of Starmer with Prime Minister Modi lining the streets of Mumbai between the airport and the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, with such a warm welcome from Mumbai, the state of Maharashtra and India. The bond between the prime ministers was visibly warm and strong.
