Hon David Lammy, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the UK.

Foreign Secretary, David Lammy said, “India is the emerging superpower of the 21st century, the largest country in the world with 1.4 billion people and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Our Free Trade Agreement negotiations is the floor not the ceiling of our ambitions to unlock our shared potential and deliver growth, from Bengaluru to Birmingham.
