The Prime Minister wants to establish a stronger trade and investment dialogue with India, breaking down existing trade and investment barriers, and securing agreement to talks at official level that will pave the way for a bilateral trade arrangement once the UK has left the EU. The Prime Minister will be accompanied by the International Trade Secretary Liam Fox and Trade Minister Greg Hands.
Speaking ahead of the visit, the Prime Minister said:
When I took office, I said that the mission of this government would be to forge a bold new positive role for the United Kingdom in the world and make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us. And that바카라 사이트s exactly what I will be doing this week 바카라 사이트 leading my first trade mission to India, with small businesses from every corner of the country, as we seize the opportunities of leaving the European Union.
Because while others seek to tie our negotiating hands, the government will get on with the job of delivering the decision of the British people. It was MPs who overwhelmingly decided to put the decision in their hands. The result was clear. It was legitimate. MPs and peers who regret the referendum result need to accept what the people decided.
And now we need to turn our minds to how we get the best outcome for our country. That means sticking to our plan and timetable, getting on with the work of developing our negotiating strategy and not putting all our cards on the table 바카라 사이트 that is not in our national interest and it won바카라 사이트t help us get the best deal for Britain.
It also means expanding our horizons and forging stronger partnerships with countries around the world. The UK and India are natural partners 바카라 사이트 the world바카라 사이트s oldest democracy and the world바카라 사이트s largest democracy 바카라 사이트 and together I believe we can achieve great things 바카라 사이트 delivering jobs and skills, developing new technologies and improving our cities, tackling terrorism and climate change. This is a partnership about our shared security and shared prosperity. It is a partnership of potential. And on this visit I intend to harness that potential, rebooting an age-old relationship in this age of opportunity and with that helping to build a better Britain.
A host of commercial deals are due to be signed during the visit, which together are expected to create 1,370 jobs in the UK, providing a real boost to our workforce and financial security for hundreds of families across the country.
They include:
- a Β£1.2 million joint venture initiative between the Pandrol Group UK and Rahee Group in India 바카라 사이트 to set up a state-of the-art manufacturing plant in India,Β supplying metro and Indian rail projects across the country
- a Β£15 million high-end imaging and diagnostic centre in Chennai to be developed by Lyca Health UK
- a Β£350 million investment from British start-up, Kloudpad, into high-tech electronics manufacturing in Kochi. The company will create a manufacturing facility and a highly advanced research and development facility allowing them to expand their global reach
Both governments will also sign a landmark agreement to improve the intellectual property landscape in India with a programme of co-operation between the UK Intellectual Property Office and This will support Indian efforts to protect and enforce intellectual property rights, thereby addressing one of the concerns for British businesses operating in India.
The UK will also commit to extend assistance to India to improve the business environment, including by providing advice on reducing regulation, tax and public administration, standards and insolvency. No other country has such comprehensive co-operation with India in this area, which is intended to support Prime Minister Modi바카라 사이트s efforts to push India up the world바카라 사이트s from its current 130th spot and in turn make it easier for UK business to trade and invest in India.Β Β
Finally, both Prime Ministers are expected to launch an India-UK Urban Partnership on smart cities and urban development which could be unlock new business worth up to Β£2 billion to British business over the next 5 years.Β
This partnership brings together not just the 2 governments, but also business, investors and top urban experts from both nations, to build smarter, more inclusive cities that drive prosperity, jobs and growth in both India and the UK. The collaboration is expected to focus on the fast-growing and dynamic state of Madhya Pradesh with the historic and holy city of Varanasi also set to benefit.
