Indo-British relations have been on the upswing for some years now. A broad political consensus appears to have been reached in both countries to have strong and deep ties with each other. This has also been the feature of David Cameron government—a coalition between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party. Prime Minister Cameron had visited India in July last year with one of the “largest-ever” trade delegation in his attempt to strengthen economic and trade between the two countries and make UK the “partner of choice” for India. A number of senior leaders and delegations have since visited each other’s country to strengthen the ties further. Jeremy Browne, the young minister of state at the foreign and commonwealth office, is a Lb-Dem MP from the Tauton Deane constituency, which may be known to Indians as the home of Somerset, the famous English cricket country team. Browne says he relaxes by watching Somerset play cricket at the County Ground and suffers regular frustrations of being a Queens Park Rangers supporter. He visited Delhi and Kolkata recently and spoke to Pranay Sharma on his visit and the issues before the two countries. Below are the excerpts from the interview.
