The deal was one of a raft of agreements sealed during the visit to London of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, which Mr Cameron said provided "a real opportunity to open a new chapter in the relationship between our two countries" and develop "a more ambitious modern partnership" on an economic, defence and global level. Speaking alongside Mr Modi at the Foreign Office following talks at 10 Downing Street, Mr Cameron said that British and Indian companies had announced new collaborations worth a total of more than £9 billion during the visit. And he said he wanted Britain to become India's "number one partner" in raising finance for Mr Modi's plan to create 100 "smart cities" across the country, with the City of London establishing itself as the world's centre for trading in India's rupee currency. |
