One of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak라이브 바카라 close allies and former deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab, on Saturday called on the British Indian leader to up the government라이브 바카라 game to reap the full dividends of a closer partnership with India.
바카라 웹사이트Dominic Raab, who led Sunak라이브 바카라 leadership campaign and served as his Foreign Secretary before being forced to resign amid bullying allegations, wrote in ‘The Daily Telegraph’ that more can be achieved within the bilateral relationship with the UK라이브 바카라 first Prime Minister of Indian heritage now in charge at Downing Street.
바카라 웹사이트He pointed to India라이브 바카라 “particular comparative advantage in tech” against the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 high-profile visit to the US this week during which mega deals were struck.
바카라 웹사이트“With the UK라이브 바카라 historic ties to India, and our first UK Prime Minister of Indian heritage, are we doing enough to maximise the rewards from this critical relationship,” questions Raab.
바카라 웹사이트“With Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, Britain remains uniquely placed to reap the dividends of a deeper friendship with India.
To do so, we’ll need to up our game across the whole of government,” writes the Conservative Party MP.
바카라 웹사이트 He notes that India as the world라이브 바카라 fifth largest economy predicted to overtake the Eurozone within 30 years, offers “enormous” trade opportunities as investor sentiment warms with investment in roads, and a large well-educated local talent pool to draw from.
바카라 웹사이트“When it comes to defence procurement, India is the world라이브 바카라 largest importer of military hardware. Again, Modi is in the market for joint ventures that allow tech transfer to help build up homegrown production. For the West, it is an opportunity to wean India off imports of Russian weapons,” he writes.
바카라 웹사이트 “India라이브 바카라 economic rise and geopolitical salience make it a linchpin partner, particularly as a counterweight to China,” he writes.
바카라 웹사이트Acknowledging India라이브 바카라 own geopolitical compulsions, Raab admits India라이브 바카라 refusal to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin라이브 바카라 invasion of Ukraine in the same terms as the West as “maddening”.
바카라 웹사이트“But as a leading member of the non-aligned group, India has far-reaching influence amongst developing countries. That could be useful to the West in areas of common interest, like China… the case for cooperating more closely with India just gets stronger,” he writes.
바카라 웹사이트Reflecting his own frustrations with the civil service apparatus, which is referred to as the “Whitehall blob” in ministerial circles, Raab laments that an "ossified Whitehall bureaucracy has given France the edge over British aerospace firms in supplying India the new fighter jets it needs – an order of French Rafales is now expected.”
바카라 웹사이트 “FTA (free trade agreement) negotiations were launched, cooperation intensified during COVID on the supply of vital goods from Personal Protective Equipment to paracetamol, with pledges to collaborate on tech and critical minerals, and a commitment to pursue mutual defence procurement. But this relationship requires constant focus to deliver results,” added Raab.
