The Chancellor and the Indian Finance Minister meet on a regular basis, both bilaterally and multilaterally. One of the main forums for engagement is the UK-India Economic and Financial Dialogue, of which there have been nine since January 2007. In addition, the Chancellor and Indian Finance Minister attend many international meetings together, such as the G20, which allow for further engagement.

The UK and India have a strong economic and financial relationship, with UK and Indian investments supporting over half a million jobs across both economies. We continue to value our engagement with India and look forward to developing it further.
