Store virksomheder med i kølvandet på premierministeren i den største erhvervsdelegation, der nogensinde har fulgt en britisk regeringsleder i udlandet – Indiens fremstormende økonomi lokker, og Cameron siger, at “the sky is the limit”.
British Prime Minister David Cameron insisted during his visit to India Monday that the country was “one of the great success stories of this century”, adding that he believed it would be a “top three world economy” by 2030, BBC online reports Monday.
“I want Britain to be its partner of choice, helping to build those motorways, helping to provide those universities, helping to invest in healthcare and also encouraging Indian investment back into the UK,” he said.
But Mr Cameron sounded a cautionary note over corruption in India, while admitting the British economy was not immune to rogue (skrupelløs) trading.
He said: “I do not come here to preach to anybody, but clearly every country has to be on their guard against bribery (bestikkelse) and corruption as the Indians themselves know.”
Mr Cameron arrived in Mumbai on Monday with the biggest entourage of British business people ever taken on an overseas trip by a UK prime minister.
Mr Cameron said: “India’s rise is going to be one of the great phenomena of this century and it is incredibly impressive to see.
“We have only just started on the sort of partnership that we could build. As far as I am concerned, the sky is the limit.”
