British Foreign Secretary David Lammy begins India visit
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Wednesday began a two-day visit to India to galvanise negotiations for the long-pending Free Trade Agreement and explore ways to shore up bilateral cooperation in diverse areas, including clean energy, new technologies and security.
It is the first high-level engagement between India and the UK after Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government came to power on July 5.
"India is the emerging superpower of the 21st century, the largest country in the world with 1.4 billion people and one of the fastest growing economies in the world," Lammy said.
