India a reliable partner, whatever turn Brexit takes: Indian envoy

LONDON: India’s outgoing High Commissioner Y K Sinha has said the UK will find India a reliable partner whatever turn its exit negotiations with the European Union (EU) may take.

Speaking at one of many farewell events being organised here to mark his retirement from the Indian Foreign Service at the end of this month, the diplomat described his UK posting as the “crowning glory” of his 37-year career because he leaves at a time when UK-India relations are poised to “reap the dividends across the board”.

“We are very hopeful that after Brexit, whatever turn it takes, the UK will find India as a very reliable partner,” Sinha said while addressing a Conservative Friends of India (CFIN) event.

“Within the Commonwealth, India is the largest member-state in terms of population and the fastest growing economy. And, in the not-too-distant future, we will be the number one economy in the Commonwealth. So, we will be the engine that drives the Commonwealth and the global economy,” he noted. (AGENCIES)
