Prime Minister Narendra Modi met former UK PM Rishi Sunak at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi on Tuesday. Rishi Sunak congratulated Prime Minister Modi on completing 25 years in public service and commended his commitment, work ethic and energy.
He also highlighted the strengthening India-UK relationship, particularly in trade, technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
In a post on X, Sunak said: “Prime Minister @narendramodi great to see you in New Delhi today. Congratulations on 25 years in public service, a remarkable achievement. It was a pleasure to work with you when I was Prime Minister. Your commitment, your work ethic, your energy is an example to us all.”
“The UK India relationship is going from strength to strength under your leadership. Our two countries cooperating more on trade, tech and AI is vital in a less predictable world. I know that Britain and India will continue to grow ever closer in the years ahead,” he said in his post.
