British Ambassador Lindy Cameron has hailed the partnership between India and the United Kingdom amid tariff tension with the United States, which will reportedly impact India’s GDP by 1 per cent. 

Cameron, while sharing a picture of PM Modi with the UK PM Keir Starmer, said the goal behind UK-India Vision 2035 is “simple”. Wondering what it is? Well, it is, as she said, “to grow together with India”. 

“With people and economic prosperity at the heart of our strategic vision, we’ve upped our ambition to deliver transformative opportunities and tangible benefits for both countries,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), before listing what the India-UK partnership would look like in the next 10 years.
