London, December 14
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday described the UK and India as “natural partners” who are working together on many “fantastic projects” from partnership on 5G and telecom to startups that will transform people’s lives and promote the principles of freedom, openness and peace.
In his special address to the 2021 Global Technology Summit via video link, Johnson said over the coming decade, India and the UK would continue to deepen their bonds on technology and other areas as they have set out in the 2030 India-UK road map.
The 2030 road map for stronger UK-India strategic ties was signed by Johnson and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a virtual summit in May.
“With our shared culture of innovation and our entrepreneurial spirit, the UK and India are natural partners. We’re working together on many fantastic projects,” the PM said.
“Working side-by-side, we will not only make breakthroughs that will transform people’s lives, but we’ll help shape a new technology based on the principles of freedom, openness and peace,” Johnson said in his special address to the 6th annual Global Technology Summit.
The summit was co-hosted by the non-governmental organisation Carnegie India along with the Ministry of External Affairs on the theme of Global Meets Local.
Addressing the summit via video link, UK foreign secretary Liz Truss said hostile forces use technology to gain the upper hand. — PTI
