May 12th, 2010 - 8:19 pm ICT by IANS
London, May 12 (IANS) Britain’s new Prime Minister David Cameron is an admirer of India and feels that relations with New Delhi “should go deeper”.
Eton and Oxford educated, the 43-year-old has had a meteoric rise through Conservative ranks since Chancellor Norman Lamont made him his special adviser after spotting talent in the man.
Ahead of a September 2006 visit to India, Cameron wrote a comment piece in The Guardian, saluting Indian democracy.
“India is the world’s largest democracy, a rapidly growing economy, a huge potential trading partner, a diverse society with a strong culture of pluralism and a key regional player - a force for stability in a troubled part of the world,” he said. “So this is India’s time.”
“India, one of the greatest civilizations, is truly great again… Our relationship goes deep. But I think it can and should go deeper. I attach the highest priority to Britain’s relationship with India.”
