British Primeminister Tony Blair has hailed an EU trade and security agreement with India as a long overdue “turning point” in relations between the two economic powers.
The “action plan” with India will point the way to greater co-operation between the EU and India, Blair said. His words came as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh unveiled a 1,2 billion pound India Airlines order for 43 Airbus jets.
Blair said the plan, which covers trade, security, climate change, research and development and other issues, sets relations between the EU and India at “a new, higher and more intensive level”.
