To deliver growth, the UK needs to expand foreign trade and inward investment. To help achieve this, the UK has recently signed a new trade deal with India, a country with whom we have strong historical connections and with whom we share a common language. The Indian economy is expanding rapidly with a particular focus on technology and services companies, and some Indian companies are already big investors in the UK. For such reasons, we have invited FCDO Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Indo-Pacific, Seema Malhotra MP, to lead a discussion on how we can work more closely with India in the future.
