Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
What recent assessment he has made of the UK's diplomatic relations with India.
Answered by Mark Field
The UK’s relations with India remain excellent, as demonstrated by Prime Minister Modi’s hugely successful visit in UK. We share a longstanding and deep friendship with India, and a ‘living bridge’ connecting our people. To be frank, I am keen we focus less on legacy and nostalgia and more on the future relationship between our two countries, including the new UK-India Tech Partnership, as I saw on my visit to New Delhi and Hyderabad only last week.

The Prime Minister tasked the Foreign Secretary to establish and chair an Interministerial Group to oversee and coordinate the Government's response to hurricane recovery in the region. That group was last updated on recovery efforts at the beginning of this month and will next meet in March.
