Statsminister Anders Fogh Rasmussen (V) drager til Indien den 2. til 6. april nøjagtig en måned efter at hans amerikanske forbundsfælle, præsident George Bush, aflagde visit i det frembrusende sydasiatiske vækstlokomotiv, erfarer u-landsnyt.dk.
Fogh Rasmussen ankommer i spidsen for en usædvanlig talstærk erhvervsdelegation på 27 virksomheder, og vil – i modsætning til tidligere besøgende danske statsministre – ikke besigtige danske u-landsprojekter, idet bistanden er under afvikling, og Indien ikke selv længere ønsker at være bistandsmodtager.
Han vil på denne måde bidrage til at markere en ny fase i forholdet mellem de 2 lande, hvor den nye fase er præget af stærkt øget samhandel og stigende investeringer.
Fogh Rasmussen vil udover politiske samtaler med regeringen i New Delhi bl.a. besøge danske virksomheder, der har etableret sig i det store land med over en milliard indbyggere og en købedygtig mellemklasse, der nu tæller 300 millioner.
Programmet omfatter bl.a. et “Indo-Danish Business Forum” i Chennai (Madras) i Tamil Nadu i det sydøstlige Indien (mandag den 3. april), og et lignende forum i New Delhi i nord onsdag den 5. april.
Fogh Rasmussens Indiens besøg rangerer ham ind i rækken af gæstende danske statsministre. For de har næsten alle været forbi verdens største demokrati. Anker Jørgensen (S) kom i november 1980, Poul Schlüter (K) i januar 1987 og Poul Nyrup Rasmussen (S) i september 1995, i øvrigt sammen med Lone Dybkjær.
