United Kingdom and India to build cyber-security training centre

Antalya (Turkey), Nov 15 (IANS) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that all humanity must stand united against terrorism as BRICS leaders met on the sidelines of the G20 Summit that will get underway here later in the day.

Where the media was keen to highlight the controversies surrounding Modi, he has managed to redefine the India-UK relationship for the new century.

India hit the headlines a year ago after pro-business leader Narendra Modi won a landslide election victory. India is aiming to install 100GW of solar power by 2022. The flow of investments, presence of a large Indian Diaspora and its expertise in urban development and skill development make it a very valued partner for India.

In a DW interview, Rajiv Biswas, Asia-Pacific Chief Economist at the analytics firm IHS, talks about the significance of Modi’s visit, Singapore’s growing significance for India, and how the two countries are likely to benefit from the strategic partnership. The Conservatives are keen on imparting it a new momentum.

“There is a sense of great expectation from our government”.

Argentina, Australia, Canada, Turkey, India, Germany, France, Italy, United States of America (USA), United Kingdom, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, China, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and the European Union. “But at the same time, we find that a few people are not affected by viral because of immunity and inherent strength to counter the virus”, Modi said. While it may serve a few rhetorical goal, it is counterproductive to take such a myopic approach.

In India, Government and the Central Bank, are taking steps to further strengthen the financial and banking sector.

The visit comes at a time when India is emerging as one of the more robust economies within the developing world.

He also said the Indian community events were planned in Singapore and Malaysia as well. The communique reflected India’s concern on adopting climate change.

Quoting Frost & Sullivan’s pioneering research on the world’s top 100 countries for Growth, Innovation and Leadership, PM Modi noted the growth consulting firm’s number 1 ranking of India. He made an attempt to lay the legacy of Britain’s imperial past to rest when he suggested that “the soil of London” had given birth to India’s “freedom struggle”, referring to India’s numerous freedom fighters who studied in the UK.

Talking about Modi’s program in Singapore, Wadhwa said the Prime Minister will deliver the prestigious Singapore Lecture soon after his arrival on the evening of November 23 from Malaysia. “If one tablet can bring such a change, then why can’t humans do it. Just cribbing will not do”, he said.

Economic ties between the two nations have intensified since the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement in 2005. Both sides seem to recognise the challenge.
