LONDON, Jun 28 : As the UK prepares for a new Labour Party leader who will go on to replace Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, Kanishka Narayan, the India-born Minister for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Starmer's top team, stressed that the stability of Britain's relationship with India will hold firm through the political transition. Speaking at the inaugural India All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) celebration, Narayan said he feels "absolutely convinced that the stability of the depth of our relationship (with India) is a stability we'll continue to see in the months and years ahead," citing the Labour Party as "a deep friend of India." He noted the party "promised a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) by Diwali, but delivered it well in advance of the Diwali that we promised it by." The cross-party celebration of the India-UK FTA was hosted by India APPG co-chairs Labour MP Baggy Shankar and House of Lords peer Karan Bilimoria. Shankar called the FTA "a brilliant milestone in the partnership, cementing the relationship between our two countries and marking the biggest trade deal of its size ever done by India." Lord Bilimoria spoke of the potential opened up by the India-UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA), noting that "Tiny Switzerland is the 10th largest trading partner of the UK and India is only the 11th largest trading partner."
